This sound correct. > when i tried that I got the following message: > > mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed > error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO)' Have you tried actually connecting to mysql without a password? IIRC when mysql is first installed (been a while now :P), the initial root password is blank. Try just typing 'mysql' - if you get to the 'mysql>' prompt successfully then no password has been set. I'm thinking though that if you're getting that error then a password must have been set somehow... If you really can't figure out how to get in there's a guide to resetting the root mysql password here: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Resetting_permissions.html Good luck :P -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://jez.hancock-family.com/ - Another FreeBSD Diary http://ipfwstats.sf.net/ - ipfw peruser traffic logging _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
