Hi
The MySQL security privileges user system, consists in verify the user
name, the user password
and the host IP/DNS name for each database. These data there are in the
grant tables contained
in the mysql database that is built during the installation process.
To easy the first connection these tables contains wildcards for all these
variables, so you can go
at the c:\mysql\bin folder and use the mysql.exe client to test the
installation, thus:
c:\mysql\bin>mysql -u root -p <enter>
when you is asked for the password left it blank.
You will receive the welcome announce and the client is ready to the line
command.
If you can't init the client tool, maybe you have problems with the DNS
resolution.
Read the MySQL Manual about the GRANT/REVOKE command to learn how to change
the user privileges. You find it on the c:\mysql\docs directory.
Regards
Miguel
