If you want to set the root password you can do the next thing 1. kill the mysqld 2. start mysqld with --skip-grant-tables option 3. set the new password with mysqladmin -u root password 'RogerTheRabbit' command 4. and finally - mysqladmin -h hostname flush-privileges
instead of 3 and 4 you can do this 3. Run mySQL client - mysql -u root 4. USE mysql; UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD("RogerTheRabbit") WHERE user = "root"; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Ivan ---------------------------------------------- http://alas.matf.bg.ac.yu/~mr02014/ ---------------------------------------------- One World, one Web, one Program -- Microsoft promotional ad Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer -- Adolf Hitler -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
