Under Win NT 4.0, I was able to start mySQL 3.23.44 and do interactive client session using mysql, but then I put a passsword to the root user.

When I tried to restart mySQL again (mySQL, mySQLd, mySQLadmin), I always got the following error: Error 2003: cannot connect to mysql server on localhost (10061).

I even removed mysql and reinstalled with all defaults, still the same error message.

Any help and suggestion is appreciated.

Steve,

I can't tell you how to redo the password, etc for mysql, but do remember when using mysqladmin that it saves a file under c:\ called my.ini or mysql.opt which isn't deleted if you uninstall mysql, and hence loaded up when you re-installed it. Unistall again and then delete this config file and it might be ok then.

Cheers,
