alright, this deals with mysql.exe -
i have finished everything and when i try to type
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on *.* to '%'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '%';
i get an error message reading
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user '@127.0.01' (Using password: no)
does anyone know what this means? i read through the GRANTING AND REVOKING part of the manual at
www.mysql.org but i still cant figure it out, can someone help please?
edit -- i just found and followed the 1045 fix instructions at
http://www.kotcb.9f.com/1045fixes.htm and it didnt work for me :(
