hi, 1. i have same problem.
SPEC : winxp sp2 + recent security bug patch. mysql 4.1.9. the docs : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Resetting_permissions.html just doesnt't worked. <snip> At the DOS command prompt, execute this command: C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --skip-grant-tables </snip> mysql\bin is on my PATH. so i use mysqld-nt --skip-grant-tables. it stops automatically. i go to mmc and to services panel. and open mysql41 services properties. in commands there is : mysqld-nt --default-files="path_to_ini_\mysql.ini" MYSQL41 so i try mysqld-nt --default-files="path_to_ini_\mysql.ini" --skip-grant-tables(without any service name). it runs. however when i execute mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges password "newpwd" mysql complains that it can't find any entry on user table. any idea ? thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
