I set a password for the root user in mysql, but I can still go run mysqladmin from a comand line without having to log in using mysqladmin -u root password 'password' Also, when I run WinMysqlAdmin 1.4 there is no password listed under my.iniSetup What is there is:
[WinMySQLadmin]
Server="C:/Program Files/xampp/mysql/bin/mysqld.exe"
#user=root
#password=
I dont want to play with this, but I must be doing something wrong.
I would loginto mysqladmin via phpmyadmin, but it won't take the username and password I set for it.
Also, when I CD Collection under Demos I get this message:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\xampp\cds.php on line 64
Could not connect to database!
Is MySQL running or did you change the password?
