I have the problem, that since a few weeks ago my mysql-server does not let me in anymore as root or admin. the connect via scripts on the internet(asp) works fine but i can't administer it anymore. so, what can i do that i can login again. i also tried to start the daemon with the option --skip-grant, but it lasts very long and the server does not come back. and the skip-grant-tables optin tells nothing. it says that it starts the server with databases from var/mysql and after a short time it says daemon ended. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
