WampServer

Hello,

Just installed the latest WAMP. I want to manually set up databases, change root password, etc. I'm used to doing command lines to mysql, but am getting:

E:\wamp\mysql\bin>mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: N
O)

E:\wamp\mysql\bin>mysql -u root
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: N
O)

Tried changing it in phpMyAdmin, now am getting: "phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection."

TIA

follow the second post here

Thanks,

That fixed the problem completely. Thanks for the quick reply.

It's worth mentioning that the MySQL 5 command line is slightly different than previous versions:

mysql -u username -p databasename

and you are prompted seperately for a hidden password

Cheers!

no problem, glad it worked.
