Depending on how you installed MySQL, you may or may not have performed this step of the installation process: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/default-privileges.html It sounds to me that you have the anonymous account still in your mysql.user table. Try this: SELECT id, user, host, password from mysql.user; You should be able to identify the odd account pretty easily. Just DELETE the account and FLUSH PRIVILEGES again and you should no longer be able to login without both a user name and a password.
