Well, I recently downloaded and installed (again) mysql 4.x and 3.x to test both.
I have installed succefully mysql numerous times with no problems at win98, 2000 and xp but never had this problem. Let me explain below:
I've installed mysql at a Win2000 machine as Administrator to run the service for all users. The thing is that when I try to connect to it, either from a php script (phpbb or postnuke) or from command prompt (c:\mysql\bin\mysql -u root -pmypassword) I always get the same error saying: ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES). I double check to see if I'm doing something wrong but the password is right and hell, root has ALL PRIVILEGES so I should be able to create a dbase! I tried using only the user and not the pass but still the same thing, can't do anything create db, table etc... What's wrong? Win2K have all the latest updates, so I guess it's not go to do with them.
Thanx for your time.
