Claudio,
Thank you for the tip... Unfortunately, I tried your suggestion and it
still didn't work!
mysqladmin -u root -p root
Enter password: (I entered root here)
mysqladmin: Unknown command: 'root'
When I tried it again (this time leaving the password as blank):
mysqladmin -u root -p root
Enter password:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
Is there anyway to get past this issue? I really wish that I didn't
grant the extra privileges! :-(
Happy programming,
James
