I've checked the archives but still need help on this. I installed MySQL (Standard), production version 4.0.20d on a Win2K (Service Pack 4) system, using the binary install. Also, I initiated the install while logged onto Win2k with administrator-level privileges. After the install completed the MySQLAdmin 1.4 console appeared, prompting me for a user name and password which I supplied. Accordingly the "my.ini" file was created and placed in the WinNT directory.
Next, in a command prompt, I assigned a root-level password as follows from within the 'mysql\bin' directory. mysqladmin -u root password '<some password>' This executed without incident. Now, I'm at the point of creating a database, so I've begun by logging onto the MySQL server with the following command. mysql -u root -p As expected, I am prompted for the root-level password, which I then type. Unfortunately, I receive the following error message. ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
