Jerry, Don't forget that MySQL authenticates an entity, which is based on the user name and host. For example, on my MySQL boxes root can only login from the localhost. If I attempt to login with root from another host, I am denied access.

I was getting the following error when loging into mysql ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) After searching for an answer I found the answer was to re-start using --skip-grant-tables and change the password then restart mysql useing the normal startup script. This worked well. The next step is where I run into problems. After I log into mysql in the normal mode and reset the password I go back to ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password:YES). Also, other users are reporting that they can't access thier databases. Based on what I am seeing here I am able to login to mysql as root as long as there is no password. Once I set a password it wont let me connect. Also found that users can't login to the databases. Does anyone have any idea whats going on and how I might be able to resove this problem?
