read the mysql manual/faq, the section: i lost my root password (or lost password). I'm sure it exists, because i've been there :D (long time ago)

or, if its empty, just reinstall it, paying close attention whenever it says anything about passwords

I did look for the "i forgot my user name and password" in the manual, that manual isn't so good for troubleshooting. I also tried reintalling numerous times paying careful attention to anything about passwords, but to no success. I'm not quitting on this. I've tried to connect through the database through php, c++, and the mysql bin .exe(s) and they all say i do not have access. I never set a password or username and the manula does not talk about a default password and says the default user name may be root, which i have tried already.

I'd kiss you if you weren't a man. Thanks a lot. Didn't see that section of the manual, oops. Thanks to all that attempted to help me too.
