GUI Admin Console login problem

[jimoo]

This is a follow-up to thread436-1281656. I successfully installed MySQL database engine. I can access the database from the command line without any problems. I used the standard MySQL username and my own PW.

I then installed the MySQL GUI features such as the administrator. I started the server, from windows, and tried to login. However, it will not let me. I am running locally and used localhost.

I am including the screen shot of the Admin and failed login. I am able to ping the box successfully by pressing the ping button. Any ideas?

Here are the screen shots - I blanked out the port number only for posting.

If you can connect via the command-line then you should be able to connect via GUI using the same credentials. Are you using the same credentials? Can you connect using the root credentials? Can you show us the command-line that works?

Here is a screen shot. I also included a shot of the right mouse click of the tray icon so you can see MySQL is running. I tried it several times to ensure I typed the Username PW the same. I used the default username of MySQL. I tried the username using different case combinations - the pw is lower case and I verified CAPS Lock is off.

When you use the command-line interface, how do you specify the username?

Have you tried connecting via the GUI as root?
