Hello,
I'm trying to learn mysql & PHP. I recently set up the mysql server (with
the file: mysql-3.23.32-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz)
My problem is this: I either forgot the password, or neglected to set up any
user accounts.
The documentation says to do this:
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h twistedlogic -p password 'new-password'
which returns the following:
Enter password:
./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'
I also tried renaming the mysql directory (in /usr/local/) and re-installing
it. no. maybe I did something wrong there, because that seems to me it
should have worked, being a binary package... and the mysql table being held
in mysql/data/mysql.
anyway, if anyone knows how I can get back in.... tell me! :)
thanks,
AJ.
