I've checked to se that it is working using 'mysqlshow', 'mysqlshow mysql' & 'mysqladmin version status proc'. All seems to be fine. I have deleted the anonymous user with the following commands : C:mysql\bin\mysql use mysql delete from user where User=''; quit C:mysql\bin\mysqladmin reload The problem is when I set the root password using the following command: C:mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password my_password Although this sets a password for the root user when I enter the following C:mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root -p reload I am then prompted for a password, but when I enter it I receive the following error: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES)' My PC is connected to a server and gets its IP address via DHCP. Is this part of the problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
