do u have a .my.cnf in c:\ dir or c:\windows dir ? from DOS when u issue a mysql command it usually picks up the username and password from the .my.cnf file.

I deleted all the rows from the 'user' table of the 'mysql' database except my own account (host: localhost, user: alan, password:alan). --- I was hoping only I have the access to the MySQL databases. The problem is that I still can login to MySQL by the DOS command: 'c:\mysql\bin\mysql' without the '-h localhost -u alan -p' followed. (NOTE: MySQL was installed under the c: drive) And even the 'c:\mysql\bin\mysql -h localhost' and 'c:\mysql\bin\mysql -h localhost -u root' *work* too!!! Terrible!!! (BTW, in the 'my.ini' file, the user=alan, password=alan.) --- But I don't think this is important as all of the user info are stored in the 'user' table of the 'mysql' databse. Right? What am I gonna do? Please advise. cheers, feng -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
