As a stranger on the field of PHP I installed e-novative WAMP onto my computer today. I have no idea how this server is functioning. However, as I tryed to open the page phpMyAdmin I got an error anounccment from MySQL: #1045 - Access denied for user 'mullimus'@'localhost' (using password: YES).
What does this meen? Have some of you experienced the same problem before?

and tell us what the output is.

Hello Admin:

I am sorry. I am getting the same error as Mullmus.

When I enter mysql -u=root my message is

Welcome to the Mysql monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySql connection id is 3 to server version: 4.1.12a-nt-log.

help

Thank you

This means that the installer failed to set the password you provided. You can access the database as user root without password.

Use phpMyAdmin to create a new user and password if you   like.

I am having this same problem.  whenever I uninstall WAMP it never uninstalls the services.  I've just reinstalled again and have this error 1045. And experience the exact same results.

You say that the installer failed to set the password I provided. How is this possible?  How do I access the database or use phpMyAdmin if I can't login to phpMyAdmin?  Can you restate the steps to face when recieving the 1045 error please?

Thanks so much!

I had tried to install WAMP to C:\Wamp after previous installs to Crogram files\enoative\wamp ... I uninstalled, manually removed the services (again) and reinstalled back into the default directory and now MySQL is responding to the user/password set in the installer.  Not sure what this was, but it is working now, thanks!

Hi,

since yesterday I have the same problem:

Code:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)


I'm 100% that I have the correct pw, but it won't work. With another MySQL user (no admin/root) it works.

The WAMP installer removes the user root. On certain systems, this does not work on installation - though we did not yet find out exactly why; it seems to be related to prior MySQL installations.

However, if this happens, you can access the database as root *without* password. Ond of these ways work, but you tried root *with* a password, this will not work.
