don't know what user/password should be

72 New Member
Hi,

I installed "mysql-connector-net-5.2.3" and "mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r12-win32". The install seems ok.
When I start the "Administra tor" or "Query Browser", the login asks for connection/user/password values. I don't know what these should be because the installation procedure didn't ask me for an user/password to begin with.

I have tried using "localhost/root/'blank'" to login but didn't work.

Can anyone tell me where I have done wrong??

thanks

These would be the username and password you would use to connect to the MySQL server.

These two things you mentioned are just extra tools, they don't actually include a MySQL server. You will have to set that up separately, or connect to an existing server.

You can download the server installer athttp://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/. If you are on Linux, you can most likely also get it via whichever download manager your distro uses.

I have worked it out.

I have now installed "mysql-essential-5.1.49-winx64". At the end of the install it lets you configure an instance of the server and that is when you specify the initial user/password.

It is working now, thanks

Please can someone put me out my misery! Im trying to find a multiple user/password protection script that will redirect the specific user to a specific directory. At the moment I have set up htaccess which is fine but can only protect one directory unless I put htaccess on each directory which I think is a bit long winded, but is there any other way I can do this with using only one password script? Any info would be greatly...

Hi, I have an application that uses jdbc (9.2.0.3/classes12) to connect to an Oracle db (9i). It works fine, except when the user password is going to expire. Let me try to explain (sorry my poor english): my oracle db manages the users passwords, and this passwords are configured to expire every 90 days. So, when the password are going to expire, oracle asks to users if they want to change it.

I'm trying to change a user's password using objUser.Invoke("setPassword", "newpassword") It works fine as a console application if I'm logged in with someone with the correct permissions. If I'm logged in as a normal user it doesn't work, even though call before that, objUser.Username = "admin@domain.com" objUser.Password = "adminpassword"

Hi all, how can I check a user/password in a LDAP ? I don't want to connect with this user, I would like to connect to LDAP with a ADMIN_LOG/ADMIN_PWD, then do a query to find the user and check the password. The thing is I can't access the password attribute to compare with the user's password provided.

Hi Folks, I have a VB app, and I have been working at it for a while, and I am now at the stage where I want to create a search function. Now don't be scared! It is in the .Net compact framework, and uses SQL Server CE as the database (This seems to scare off people trying to help! lol) but the connection and reading of data etc is all handled, and I think it is going to be a "relatively" simple function.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: 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,...
