So you *have* set the root password before. From your previous emails: # mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword That set the password to "yourrootsqlpassword". If you need to reset it, see documentation: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/resetting-permissions.html As a final recourse, remove & re-install mysql from your server. If you have no data, then that might be the quickest & easiest. If you do have data, that's something else entirely. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
