I've tried everything thats in this email and nothing seems to work for me. I think my situation is a little different because I had access to my database originally but now I cant connect I can sign on as kreyes but I cant sign on as root. I can even sign in as ODBC. I dont know what to do. I have lost complete access to 'mysql' datebase
