Howdy All! I encountered a 1045 error myself and in searching Google found this thread from March 2003. I am not sure if it was solved, so, for the record, here is what I did to solve it.
I tried logging into mysql as default with just this command: mysql --local-infile -h localhost I then tried to create a user for myself with the following command and error: mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> IDENTIFIED BY 'rob' WITH GRANT OPTION; ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '@127.0.0.1' (Using password: NO) mysql> I fixed this by quitting and logging in again as root, which has no password set by default and making the user: C:\mysql\bin>mysql -h localhost -u root -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 7 to server version: 4.1.0-alpha-max-debug Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> IDENTIFIED BY 'rob' WITH GRANT OPTION; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec) mysql> exit Bye Rob :) :-> :-} -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
