This installation resides on a Windows 2003 server to which I have local

What is the most painless way to get "root" access to this database?

Hi -

I've always used the startup option of '--skip-grant-tables'. This may or may not be the "correct" way to do so, but we'll see what kind of feedback we get.

I do this, then update the Password field in the mysql.user table.
