This is stupid I know. In my fumbling around with mySQL and phpMyAdmin an
internet intruder has gone and set a password unknown to me.
Incredibly, I was only online for 3 hours when this happened and I spotted
it on a log.
I replaced the mySQL folder and updated the version but I still can't log
in.
Will one of you Gurus tell me how to just dump everything and start over?
Thank you

Resetting the root password is not enough, the intruder might have set
other accounts for him/her/it -self, so you would need to remove all
user accounts, and change all passwords.
And are you sure the database is only that got hurt? It is common for
intruders to open few backdoors for them to use later. How did the
intruder get it? What else might be infected? Did you have a root
account for remote logins, but without a password? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Re...rmissions.html

I think I'm safe since the logs showed no other invasive activity at the
time (4 months ago).
No unknown user as shown up in NetInfo either.

Through phpMyAdmin, which is open to the world by default. In any case, I'm
on a dynamic IP so I'm a moving target.

account for remote logins, but without a password?
MySQL is running well on my laptop, but it's not the server. I may be doing
this wrong but I'm saying:
mysql-h 192.168.2.1 -uroot -p
but all I get is a 5 minute timeout with error:
ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.2.1'.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Re...rmissions.html
Thanks, I'll study that tomorrow.

Hi
I know there are products out there that can do this like
http://www.psynch.com/technology/ska.html
What is the code that is used to Reset a Users password so the next time
they logon to the domain they are promoted for a new password?
I know the code will have to run under the Admin. That is fine I just need
to know what the API is and how to use it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
