I just set up a new MySQL 5.1 Database Server on a Windows XP Box. I set up a password during configuration. However, now I can’t seem to log in using the Administrative tool or command line, but there is one inconsistency that bugs me.
If I try to log in using the cmd line (mysql -u admin -p) or the MySQL Administrative Tool using the password I set up, it doesn’t work
If I try to log in using the MySQL Command Line Client and the password I set up it works fine.
Why would this be the case?
Just out of curiosity, the command line you give (mysql -u admin -p) is using the username “admin”. The master account for mysql is named “root”. Any chance that’s your problem there?
