MySQL error 1045
 

Ok, i am trying to set up my own server at the moment, and i keep on running into a little problem. When i try to give grant to my user name and such, it keep so on giving me the error 1045, i have followed the setup a server with EQEmu 5.X guide in the "how to section" step by step. I am currently running under windows ME, when i load up MSDOS command window i do cd\mysql\bin, which takes me to the next command line, then i do "mysql -root mysql" which brings me to the MYSQL command lines. when i do that, i enter "grant all privileges on *.* to (insert my username)@localhost identified by '(insert password)' with grant option; and i get the following error "access denied for user: '@localhost' <Using password: NO>.
Ive tried many different things, like doing it a little out of order, since i found out that you can do it which ever way you want until you load up the server itself. I have done the grant command just fine on my brothers computer (Windows XP), but when i do it on my computer (Windows ME) it doesn't seem to work. I've searched around the forums a bit, and couldn't find much help, but if i could get help or maybe a link that could possibly help my situation, i would be greatful. Thanks and my computer is not networked with my brothers computer in anyway, if that makes a difference.

Ok did you run the winmysqladmin.exe program. WHen you run that it asks for a mysql user name and password. The user name and password you enter for that can be used as you eqemu database user name and password. The user it has you create whan you run the winmysqladmin.exe automatically has full access and requires no more configuration. However if you want to create another one just for eqemu you would be better off using the mysql contol center which can be downloaded from the mysql web site. It has a nice user management system.
