Error Message: Bad Password --- PLZ help me on that one!!

hi.. i am newb with EQEmu and yesterday night i was trying to run my own server with minilogin.

OS: Win XP
EqEmu: 0.4.3
connecting to minilogin

DB.INI

Quote:

[Database]
host=localhost
user=*censored*
password=*censored*
database=eq
compression=off

LOGINSERVER.INI

Quote:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
loginserver2=localhost
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=LeX
worldaddress=localhost
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

I did everything said in the readme file online, but when i start World.exe it says

Login server responded with FatalError. Disabling reconnect
Error Message: 'Bad Password'

i tried uninstalling MySql and EQEmu and start again from scratch, watched for blank spaces after username password and still
i am getting the bad password error..

Could someone please help with that problem.. i really dont know where i'm going wrong

thanks a lot

I'm having the same problem - if I figure it out I'll let you know, meanwhile any help would be appreciated. :)

If you are trying to use minilogin, Im pretty sure there needs to be an eqemu/eqemu userid/password in the database.
Also, if memory serves me correctly, theres a problem with short worldnames, but that might only be an issue going through the primary login servers...

I just tried to put the account eqemu\eqemu in miniloginaccounts.ini
and still it give me the Bad Password error.. also changed the name of the server and still did the same thing..

again i uninstalled everything and re-did everything from scratch and reading carefully the manual.. still doesnt work.. :((

Can you connect to mysql from the command line?

mysql <database name> -u <database username> -P <password>

i just tried login in MySql from the command line using:

Quote:

mysql -D eq -U *username* -P *password*

and it gives me this error:

Quote:

Error 1045: Access denied for user: '*username*@localhost' <Using password: NO>

i then typed in mysql command line:

Quote:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to '%'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '%';

and still it gives me the error..

i really dont know what i am doing wrong here..

i am just trying to run a minilogin to play EQ by myself on my own computer..

i do have a LAN, my DSL is going trough my hub and my Xbox is also connected to my hub.. maybe this as to do something with it?!

anyway.. i know i'll repeat myself.. but...

PLZ help me!!!

thanks

Start - Run: Command [Enter]

CD C:\MySQL\Bin [Enter]

mysql.exe --user=root eq [Enter]

Try Grant again.

If you installed MySQL to a different directory than C:\MySQL replace it with your directory.

If you named your database other than "eq" replace that aslo.

I'd recommend reading through this walkthrough -
