To amend this just a bit ... If you actually have a password set, this is
not the case.
Also, it might require you to do mysql -p, indicating that you will type
in
a password, but then not ask you for one.
Take care,
Sina

I just realized my reply might sound stupid if you don't realize I meant
if
your logged in as Root on your linux machine then you just use mysql and
your in the root account with no password. It figures if your on the root
account then you got access to everything.

If you are logged in as root you don't need a password. You just use
mysql
with no user

Hi,
Does anyone know how to find out what a local Windows installation of
MYSQL
is trying to use as a root password if you don't know?
Thanks.
Jim
