Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 12 to server version: 3.23.42-log
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> UPDATE user SET password=password('test123') where user='root'; Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.24 sec) Rows matched: 2 Changed: 2 Warnings: 0 mysql> commit -> ; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> exit Restarted safe_mysqld but when I attempt to connect using mysql client (from windows 2000), I get Host 'my_hostname' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server p.s.
