ack, I'm not following the conversation
What are you trying to do? If you are using the mysqladmin app for your databases, there's a tab to select 'my.ini setup' - you can change your password in there for your MySQL databases. If you change the password from 'root' to something else (probably recommended that you do anyways), any php/mysql script you setup will need the password changed to the new one. You can also edit the my.ini file directly with a text editor, it's in your /WinNT folder
Ex: you change your password in the my.ini to
password
you'll need to edit your config settings in your admin panel to reflect the new password.
