hallo there,

am using phpMyAdmin 2.5.2, when i try to connect the data base, sometime i can connect, sometime it doesn't, it prompt a error saying
"Error
MySQL said:
Access denied for user: 'root@127.0.0.1' (Using password: YES)"
if my user/password not correct means, i shouldn't able to connect at all right, what could be the problem, am using windows 98..

thanks in advance

Probably means that your user is only authorized from one IP.

root@localhost might be authorized, but root@127.0.0.1 might not.

Check your user settings.

Also, it could be something as simple as wrong password, or the account has no password (by default, the admin account on MySQL -- atleast in Windows, has no password).
