ukdmbfan Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 MySQL has root privileges by default, so you can login using your root credentials. When you've done that you can setup new users from within MySQL which is recommended so you can use them to login in the future.

wildteen88 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 try root as the username and leave the password blankThis is the default account MySQL sets up when you install it. However you can change these during installation.

wildteen88 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Is mypass the username? What is the code you are using to connect to mysql post it here:It should be like this:[code=php:0]$conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '') or die('Connection error:<br />' . mysql_error());[/code]If the root user doesn't work then you must of changed the password for it. You can rest the password however it is a little tricky and hard to explain.
