Hi, im installing MySQL on this Windows 2000 computer, I am following http://www.phpfreaks.com/mysqlmanual/page/...Installing.html i am stuck at section 2.6.2.3 Running MySQL on Windows It state: //////////////////////////////// The default privileges on Windows give all local users full privileges to all databases without specifying a password. To make MySQL more secure, you should set a password for all users and remove the row in the mysql.user table that has Host=\'localhost\' and User=\'\'. You should also add a password for the root user. The following example starts by removing the anonymous user that has all privileges, then sets a root user password: C:> C:mysqlbinmysql mysql mysql> DELETE FROM user WHERE Host=\'localhost\' AND User=\'\'; mysql> QUIT C:> C:mysqlbinmysqladmin reload C:> C:mysqlbinmysqladmin -u root password your_password After you\'ve set the password, if you want to shut down the mysqld server, you can do so using this command: C:> mysqladmin --user=root --password=your_password shutdown /////////////////////////////////////// I followed the steps and recieved the following error: C:> C:mysqlbinmysqladmin --user=root --password=my_pass shutdown C:mysqlbinmysqladmin: connect to server at \'localhost\' failed error: \'Access denied for user: \'root@127.0.0.1\' (Using password: YES)\' CAn any one help?
