Hi, Did u by any choice not FLUSH PRIVELEGES when u changed the root password, if u didnt do this it makes things very easy you could go inside with "mysql -u root" command, then go into mysql DB ->Users table and remove password where root id specified there should be two of em change both of em. and then do a FLUSH PRIVILEGE (think thats the right spelling ...)
Otherwise just try SHELL>mysql, if it goes in ur problems are solved, fat chance though if you followed the instruction step by step for securing your server. cheers, Sundru Soft Engg., Megasoft Ltd, India. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Darcy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jeremiah Jester" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'MySQL'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 4:01 PM Subject: RE: Reset MySQL Root password > use rpm -Uvh --force $PACKAGE > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeremiah Jester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 18 December 2001 22:35 > To: 'MySQL' > Subject: Reset MySQL Root password > > > Well it seems as though i may have mistyped my root password for mysql since > nothing seems be working.
