Did you flush the privileges after you gave root a password? The error you get is a result of not using a password to login.

I have installed MySql 4.0.13 and it works up until I try to apply security settings to the root user at localhost. I see the mysql database and I check the privileges and there is no password for the roo user. But when I assign a password to make it secure, I can run phpmyadmin, but I cannot get into the database anymore. All I get is: MySql Said: Access Denied for user: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Using password: NO) This situation has happened 3 times and I had to reinstall MySql and start from scratch. Can someone please point me in the right direction, this is my first try and it has been quite a serious learning experience.
