Re: big problem with the snort and mysql denied access

["Michael Steele" <michaels () winsnort com>]

I'm not real sure about your MySQL version but when this happens on a
Windows box you need to:

Drop into the mysql command console and type:

Use database mysql;

SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('xxxxxxx');

Note: The xxxxxx is your password for root

Restart snort and mysql

Kindest regards,
Michael...
