Hehe, I posted this like a couple weeks ago lol, someone searching around must've found it, anyhow, I have since fixed this error mind you and then ran into a new one; but that's not important, here's what worked for me:

Make sure you have winmysqladim running first.

Then go to start, run, then type in "command" without quotes.

Then type in, without quotes: "c:\mysql\bin\mysql.exe --user=root eq" then press enter.

This should change the promt to mysql, then type as follows without quotes: "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '%'@127.0.0.1 IDENTIFIED BY '%' WITH GRANT OPTION;"

That should do it, worked for me and others, search around and you'll find exactly what I just privided you with kk thx. Hope this helps, later....
