Hello Isaac Lee, I don't remember well, but I think this is the way to do it in Windows. You can try this: Start ------> Run ----> cmd // Write it and press enter key. It will show you a MS-DOS window, Write there: mysql now: mysql> cd c:\location\mysql\bin Then you might try: mysqladmin -u root password new_password Now type: mysql -u root -p Write your new password now :) If none of this work... Please show me your ini* file. If you can't show me your ini* file please reffer to: http://search.mysql.com/search?q=Resetting_permissions.html&lr=lang_en Regards, Carlos Sura. > Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:24:26 -0400 > From: rhinecanthus@xxxxxxxxx > To: carlos_sura@xxxxxxxxxxx > CC: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: help using phpadmin > > im using windows. > > On Mon, Jul 19, 2010 at 12:23 PM, Isaac Lee <rhinecanthus@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > thanks carlos, > > > > but where would i enter that command? > > > > and i tried editing the php.ini file but that didn't accomplish anything. > > > > isaac > > > > On Mon, Jul 19, 2010 at 1:29 AM, Carlos Sura <carlos_sura@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> Hello Isaac Lee. > >> > >> Are you running on Linux or Windows? > >> > >> You might try: > >> mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ‘root’@'localhost’ = PASSWORD(’yourpassword’); > >> > >> Then restart your service -if needed- > >> > >> If not...
