Hi All,

I just installed MySQL 5.0.15-win32 on a WinXP-Pro/SP2 workstation with
plenty of RAM/HD resources. I elected to install all components. In the
process, I don't recall it ever asking me to assign a username, but if it
did, I'm confident I'd specify my standard username. I was under the
impression that the only ID MySQL cared about was my email address.

I started mysql in a Command window. I supplied the -u parameter followed
by a space and
-- my standard username first,
-- my email address the second time,
followed by a space and -p

In each case, in response to the password prompt I supplied:
-- the password I supplied during installation the first time
-- the password I supplied during download the second time.

Nothing seems to work. Should I just uninstall and then reinstall again
paying more attention the next time?

Regards,
Richard
