Can't stop mysql

[Fred Blair]

Got mysql started, created root password.

Decided to change it and used mysqladmin to try and change. It says access
denied.

I tried to stop the service, can't do that. I even restarted the computer
and it says there is still a connection on localhost:3306 and it can't make
changes.

I have deleted mysql and completely re-installed. Nothing changes.

How can I completely stop the service that it tying up :3306.

Is there anyway to see those ports and see what is connected?

Thanks,
Fred

In mysql admin prompt (> mysql )
do "show processlist" which shows connections. Might tell you which service
is connecting.
Could be the web server is the one connecting.
(You can kill processes there also)
Strange it won't kill it anyway. Did you say if Windows or Unix?
