Hello,
I went through the install for mysql 4.1.11 on the mac. Two different macs.
When I leave the password empty (don't make changes), I can connect
with CocoaMysql and the Mysql Administrator without any problem.
Obviously, I don't want to leave the root (or any user) without a
password.
Can you login using the mysql command line client from your Mac?
mysql -u username -p
That will make sure the password is set and working.
What do you mean by failed? You get a message about incorrect password?
I've never had a problem with installing and using mysql on a Mac.
