WampServer

First off I am new to these boards and pretty new to PHP/Mysql/Apache.

I have been following some tutorials and have purchases a few book on PHP/Mysql and have been reading through them.

When I first installed WAMP everything worked great. I was able to create some test .html files and everything worked fine. I was also able to use phpmysql to create a database and some tables.

Well, everything I read says to delete the anyom account that is created with Mysql. I have done that and I have also followed some text that showed my how to change the "root" password on localhost. This is where I believe I am not able to re-connect to mysql server. I created a .txt document that had the following statement in it:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPassword');

I had the mysql service stopped when I did the following:

C:\wamp\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --init-file=C:\mysql-init.txt

Ever since I did this I am not able to go to the WAMP server and choose to start mysql (it never starts). However, I am able to choose the mysql console and when it brings up the prompt for root password, I am able to type in the new password I stated in the .txt file I created and I can log in.

What do I need to change with WAMP so it reads my new password for root?

THanks,

Scott

to lean how to change the password for the root user, see the phpmyadmin section in my wamp manual (link is in my sig).

Actually I just figured out what happened, I hit the "put online" button on WAMP. Now that I have it set for off line it is working now. Doh.....
