I am getting a error after installing on the Windows 2000 Professional Operating System. Everything was going by the 'Manual' until i got to the root user password change command. I have checked through a series of posts, self-proclaimed mysql "gurus" and lists and the Manual itself, and for the life of me i cannot find one single instance on this error. It might have something to do with the handling under NT/2000 systems i don't know. I have never had this problem under FreeBSD. The system this is running on if being setup for a NT network for intranet development locally. I'd appreciate if you would consider this a bug, and please reply with any possible resolutions that you may have. I thank you for your courtesy and any hasty information you can give me on this. The error is below: F:\mysql\bin>mysqladmin -u root password xxxxxxxxx mysqladmin: unable to change password; error: 'Lost connection to MySQL server d uring query' Thanks in advance.
