mySQL Error: 1044 (Access Denied)

[Monrezz]

I had a problem with Error 2003 (mySQL server not found on localhost) or whatever, reinstalled SQL and that got rid of that problem. Now I'm getting:

ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'eq'

My password and everything is correct...

Oh - I've tried the GRANT ALL ON.... command. Same error.

Thanks,

Monrezz

when you opened mysql did you do it with the root account when you tried the grant statement?
mysql -u root mysql
then try the grant statement

Okay the grant command worked now, but if I open Admin or mySQL-Front then I get an error saying:

Acces denied for user: 'rezzie@localhost' (Using password: YES)
Please check values for user and password.

It seems like the database 'eq' has been password protected, but I don't know how or why.

Thanks again,

Monrezz


*EDIT*

Issue resolved - removed all traces of SQL and eq database and clean install. Working fine :wink:
