RE: MySQL 3.23.41 on RH7.2
You could just log on and use update on the user table... Or try entering a blank password?

--- Reçu de RVIDOI.BUNTERMA 04 72 96 57 7712/03/02 16.45 I tried the blank password by hitting enter instead of entering text with no luck - same rejection. I shall try updating the table. I thought that passwords could only be changed with mysqladmin. The password will be unencrypted in the table won't it? Matt P.S. I have not recieved any mails from this list since joining on the 25th Feb - is it normally this quiet? -- Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 15:39:10 - Subject: RE: MySQL 3.23.41 on RH7.2 You could just log on and use update on the user table...
