I have already changed the PW for root and I can log in no problem with mysql -p root, but I can also get in with just mysql. Someone mentioned about anonymous access, I'll have to check on that. 4.0 and above give me an error that permission is denied for [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am not using an external database so not sure why this is.
Thanks to all that posted legitimate answers. SGreen can biteme however. -----Original Message----- From: Cal Evans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: November 30, 2005 12:08 AM To: Beauford Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: Windows - logging into MySQL Hi, If you've just installed it then the root user has no password. Change the root user to have a password then you will have to specify the -p parameter on the command line before you can log in.
