I did that because phpmyadmin told me something about lax security using "root" with no password. Anyhow something went wrong. Now I can't do anything with phpadmin or mysql client. The message is - "Error 1045: Access Denied for User: (Using Password:No). Grateful for anyone's help. Thanks --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
