I have a new DB provided by my ISP don't know details of installation,
setup etc.
I can log in as anybody except root.
mysql -h localhost -u mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 71 to server version: 4.0.16-log
mysql -h localhost -u xxxxx
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
mysql -h localhost -u skrtfl
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
....
....
mysql -h localhost -u root
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)
using the sys root password ===>
mysql -h localhost -u root -p********
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)
using another, actually only a slight variant of the former "the
terminal question mark" as part of the password ===>
mysql -h localhost -u root -p********?
mysql: No match.
Why is there a difference re: ERROR 1045: and mysql: No match ?
Not knowing what my ISP has done, what is the best approach to reset
password (GRANT etc)
Thanks
