Hi,
I can't manage to set a root password no matter what I try. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall. I've tried to get the new version and replace the old one with it. I've totally deleted all mysql files off my machine and reinstalled mysql but I STILL get these problems:
I've tried:
mysqladmin -u root password "newPassword"
But I get this error:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
I've tried:
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
But I get this error:
'mysqld_safe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I've tried:
mysqld --skip-grant-tables &
But then I get this and nothing happens:
101022 21:39:31 [Warning] '--default-character-set' is deprecated and will be re
moved in a future release. Please use '--character-set-server' instead.
So I really just see no winning here.
Thanks,
Ashton.
