ODBC as unwanted username

Having some difficulty launching the mysql client. The
daemon starts okay, but for some reason it thinks the
user is ODBC instead of root.

C:\>mysql ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user
'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

The username can't be reset either using the config
wizard or the command line. How can I fix this?

Thanks,

David Devon

RE: ODBC as unwanted username

The ODBC user is the default user if none is specified. Your error
message suggests you are not specifying any user when connecting and
MySQL is using its default.

RE: ODBC as unwanted username

assuming you're talking about the mysql-console client on win32 =
(mysql.exe):
specifiy a user-name and things will get better.

mysql -hlocalhost -uroot

without the -u parameter, the client assumes 'odbc' as the default user.
