IIRC when mysql is first installed (been a while now :P), the initial root password is blank. Try just typing 'mysql' - if you get to the 'mysql>' prompt successfully then no password has been set. I'm thinking though that if you're getting that error then a password must have been set somehow... If you really can't figure out how to get in there's a guide to resetting the root mysql password here: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Resetting_permissions.html Good luck :P -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://jez.hancock-family.com/ - Another FreeBSD Diary http://ipfwstats.sf.net/ - ipfw peruser traffic logging
