I don't know if this is the right place to ask this,
This is not the right place to ask this. Ask on a MySQL mailing list. This is php.
but can anyone help me to figure out why each time I try to access my database using:
c:\mysql\bin\inmysql -root -p
In windows -- unless you specifically create a user, you don't need to pass a user. c:\mysql\bin\mysql will launch you as root. -u username is the syntax you want to use if you want to login as a particular user.
and afterwards:(i.e. after the password prompt)
Enter Password: '******'
I get the following:
Error 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'(Using password: YES)
Obviously the system thinks your are ODBC. If you haven't done so already, run winmysqladmin and check your system. Use the -u command line option to specify a user. There is no such option as -root
Next time, ask on the MySQL list.
