Hi Mac,
You should not be typing DOS commands within the mysql.exe utility, do the
following exactly:
Get yourself here:
C:\>
Type: cd mysql\bin <ENTER>
Result: c:\mysql\bin
Type: mysqld-nt --install <ENTER>
Result: c:\mysql\bin
Type: net start mysql<ENTER>
Result: MySQL Service has started successfully
Type: mysql<ENTER>
Result: You are now within the mysql command line utility and are supposed
to type sql, not DOS commands.
Type: use mysql; select * from user;<ENTER>
Result: See a list of your user security table
Type: quit<ENTER>
Result: Back to DOS: c:\mysql\bin>
> i also tried typing:
> mysqladmin -uroot -password ******;
Now that your mysql is running you can try this again. If you post to the
mailing list again, please provide your operating system.
No offense intended, but you should get yourself a GUI MySQL Client
Regards
