:hr: I installed MYSQL 4.0x on my local machine and set the username on MYSQL Admin to a name other then root. Now, when I launch mysql.exe I can’t get to the shell prompt and I only have access rights to work with the test database. I can’t create a new database with code like: CREATE DATABASE ironworks; The reults are: Error 1044 Access Denied. Any ideas appreciated. ---

if you’ve already tried ‘root’ and no password, you could also try editing the my.ini file. if that doesn’t work, download this: [http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysqlcc.html](http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysqlcc.html) (it’s the mysql GUI), and repeat the last two steps. lastly if none of that works, reinstall.
