1) I opened the my.ini file through XAMPP and selected 'config'. I did a ctrl + F for password but none of the matches where on a line that wasn't a comment.
I stopped the sql service and closed XAMPP - no change on restart
2) I clicked on explorer in XAMPP and saw a passwords.txt file in the XAMPP install directory. Top of the file had user: root and password (blank) so I set that to my uroot password.
I stopped the sql service and closed XAMPP - no change on restart
3) I read the readme file in the SQL folder but the little I could understand from it didn't seem to be relative to a 1045 error.
4) I checked world.exe's permissions under security and gave everyone full control - no change.
I'm going to keep working at it, hopefully I'll find the answer before someone posts it. I mean, database administration isn't too different from domain administration right =P shouldn't be too hard.
