thanks, but now i can\'t uninstall it because of an error with a file it can\'t find called \"C:MysqlUninstall.isu\" and says that uninstall cannot complete, and that isn\'t even the directory it is in.

how do i uninstall MySQL on a Windows based server

did i mention i was a begginer, i have no clue how to do this stuff

i had Mysql running on my Apache webserver with some forums and i was using the default username and password (root and no password) so then i got phpmyadmin and it all went downhill from there, i was messing around with privelleges and created a new account with a real user name and password, so then i logged in phpmyadmin again and started fooling with the priveleges and accidently denied myself access to everything, and this is the only account that i had on mysql so everything that used mysql ,including my forums, were denied access to the mysql server so now i am pretty much screwed. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling MySql and still no luck it had the same settings and everything, DEAR GOD CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!! thanks, Pat
