Dear mysql
I have just downloaded mysql 3.23 for Windows and I am running XP. I have started the service ok and create a database. I thought I had set my database password ok. I have been using the book 'Teach Yourself MySQL in 21 days' by SAMS (Mark Maslakowski). When I try the statement bin\mysqladmin -p CREATE sample_db the command asks for a password. I type in the one I set and the system says mysqladmin: connect to server at 'local host' failed error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES)' Does it appear that I need to install an ODBC driver? Your help is appreciated.
