Per the MySQL documentation I used the following commands to establish login both at the local host and remotely.
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ''@'localhost' = PASSWORD('newpwd'); mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ''@'%' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
Here, you set the password for the anonymous users, ''@localhost and ''@%. (You are probably better off deleting the anonymous user, by the way.)
When I attempt the following locally from the Command Prompt (with Win2K, SP4 administrator privileges),
mysql -u root -p
And here, you try to log in as [EMAIL PROTECTED] See the problem? [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not ''@localhost.
, I am prompted for the password. Yet, when I enter the password set above, I receive the following error message.
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't have a password yet. You need to
mysqladmin -u root password "newpwd"
where "newpwd" is the password you want for root.
After setting the password for [EMAIL PROTECTED], you can connect with
mysql -u root -p
I'd suggest that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a bad idea, so I'd
DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE user='root' AND host='%'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
but if you want it, you should definitely set a password for it as well. In that case,
SET PASSWORD FOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] = PASSWORD('newpwd');Argh... your help is appreciated.
