are you sure you know your username and password for your mysql database?

[viper151]

yeah..the server is set up in my machine just to test it..
but in mysql the only thing i  put was my password..i dont know which is my username..can u help me??

Depending on what server software you have setup on your machine the default username is usually "root" (no quotes)

[Oldiesmann]

The "Client does not support authentication method..." is due to compatibility issues with MySQL 4.1 and most server software - the software is still trying to use an old password authentication method that MySQL 4.1 doesn't support anymore. Running this query as root should fix the issue:

SET PASSWORD FOR username = OLD_PASSWORD('yourpassword');

ok i have apache 2 and mysql 4.1 ..my password is admin(i put that on set up) and my username is root??
