Hello,
New user to Mysql 5.5. I did the complete install, and I entered a username, and password for this service. The install went smooth, but when I try and start working on the command line, I get the following error? There is no readme inside the install folder? Can anyone give me some advice?
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin>mysql -u admin -p
Enter password: *****
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
5.5 ?!? You must be from the future!!! :-)
What OS are you running? Which install method did you use? Were you following along in the manual at the same time or were you just trusting the installer to get it all going correctly?
The default setup does not create a MySQL user called 'admin'(MySQL may be running as the user 'admin' on your system but that does not mean that there is a MySQL login called 'admin'). Try the login 'root' without a password.
...\bin>mysql -u root
Here is a link to the official installation instructions (the subsection for Windows installs): http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/windows-installation.html
