Re: Set no root password
Simply I didn't know where the password was located in myphpadmin. I wanted it secure but I wanted to be able to get to the data with myphpadmin too. But now I know where it is I put the password in. And now I want to protect phpmyadmin so that only folks with a username/password can access it. At 10:43 AM 6/14/2003 -0500, you wrote: At 1:53 -0400 6/14/03, John Chang wrote: It worked!!. Thanks.

First, you want to remove the password from your MySQL root account. That is, you want to remove the protection against unauthorized access. Next, you want to keep people from getting to it without a password. That is, you want protection against unauthorized access. I fail to understand what you're trying to achieve...

Re: Set no root password
I think I have figured out what he wants: He wants to set a root password (randomly) and then save it in ~root/.my.cnf so that the root user doesn't (apparently) need a password to log into MySQL. However, any other user trying to log in as root would need to know the password. Am I close? -- Michael T.
