Changing loggon and password for my sql
 

The subject speaks for itself.I was wondering if anyone could let me know thx..

do a search on your machine and look for a file called

my

its a configuration file..

i believe that should do what you want

Also, you can open a command prompt to your MySQL bin folder and type in the following:

mysqladmin -u user -p password 'new-password'

replace:

user with your user name.
password with your OLD password.
new-password with your new password.

thanks it works :)

now i'm tryin to start from scratch again, when I use windows add/remove programs to uninstall mysql I get a couple errors so I manually delete those files. but when I try to reinstall mysql it comes up with the old username and password that I used when I first set up mysql ( the one I deleted) any way to just start fresh again?
