Mario, that error means that you cannot run the MySQL daemon/server AS root. It's a security issue, not a password issue. Try something like this: mysqld --skip-grant-tables --user=mysql or, if you don't have a user named "mysql", create one and change the ownership of the mysql directory/files to "mysql"; OR, use the "nobody" user (a common replacement) mysqld --skip-grant-tables --user=nobody Regards, Neil Mansilla whatUseek.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
