ok well im following the rmx-os tut and im at the point with the mysql
the problem is while setting up the 2nd half of it, b4 you make the new password, my brother got the circuit fuse blown. -- my computer shut off
after getting the power back on i started it back up and started the process over once more.
when i get to the password part, it asks for a "current" password... but i never set one, so i tried leaving the current blank, i've tried having it root, but neither one worked =/
Help?

follow that to remove and reinstall
yea i found that last night, it still dosnt work completely.
I use XP, and i followed his guide as closely as possible, even searched my computer for the extra mysql files that arnt in a data folder (since i dont use vista), and still no change =/
Have you tried deleting "C:\windows\my.ini"?
=o
b4 i try that, are you sure that wont interfere with any other areas of my computer?
It shouldn't, by any means; it only contains the information you entered when you set up the MySQL server, so it should solve your problem.
EDIT: found a way, used revo uninstaller, destroyed all traces and what not.
thanks for helping tho guys.
