Topic: bad boy did a bad thing to php

[Dean the getting better]

I am a very naughty boy - just when I get things going the way I want to I had to muck around with mysql and now I get this error everytime I try to mysql;

ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)

can someone please help me..... I feel like crying

Dean,

Maybe you could tell us what you did when you 'mucked with mysql'. But it looks to me like you changed the root password.

yeah I was mucking around with a database called myPhpSetiStats and for some stupid reason I cut and paste somehting which I should have known would lead me into trouble.

I used this command GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpbb.* TO root@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '**********'; and of course I didn't use my root password.

I would dearly love to kick myself in the behind if I could!
