Well I thought everything was right.. Get this

[buck]

I used the following line as you suggested..

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to bkw@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
It accepted that fine, closed out mysql. Rebooted, tried to load world. Same thing.. I have winmysqladmin loaded. Is my path to the DB missing? I dunno.. Seem to be an access error of some kind, but im really not sure where to go from here.. I read post about white spaces.. checked had none before username or password.. should I scrap the whole thing and start over again?

(prepares to loadf pistol)

Thanks
