Hello,

=20

New user to Mysql 5.5. I did the complete install, and I entered a
username, and password for this service. The install went smooth, but
when I try and start working on the command line, I get the following
error? There is no readme inside the install folder? Can anyone give me
some advice?

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin>mysql -u admin -p

Enter password: *****

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

Maybe because the default super-user is "root" not "admin" ?

5.5 ?!? You must be from the future!!! :-)

What OS are you running? Which install method did you use? Were you
following along in the manual at the same time or were you just trusting
the installer to get it all going correctly?

The default setup does not create a MySQL user called 'admin'(MySQL may be
running as the user 'admin' on your system but that does not mean that
there is a MySQL login called 'admin'). Try the login 'root' without a
password.


....\bin>mysql -u root

Here is a link to the official installation instructions (the subsection
for Windows installs):

RE: Install 5.5 Assistance Needed

You don't give us which version of windows you are using. The current
version of MySQL is 5.0.18 so I am guessing that you tried to install
version 5.0.5. If so, here are some ideas:
The 5.0.x series has a windows help file in the docs directory of the
installation. All versions include an HTML manual in the docs
directory. The manual is about 4 MB and a very good starting point for
almost any problem. You should find your documentation and read the
install section. You should also download the 5.0.18 binary
(http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html)

I recommend that you download and install the MySQL Administrator
(http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/administrator/index.html) and MySQL
Query Browser (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/query-browser/1.1.html)
and use these programs vice the command line once you have started MySQL
as a windows service.

Probably the initial mistake was you should use '-u root' vice '-u
admin'.

Also look through the archives of this list - several other people with
similar problems have had them addressed here with quite a bit of
helpful advice.

If you still need help after you have read the instructions, then tell
us what version of windows you are using, and whether you used the zip
file or the msi version binary to do the install. =20
