start.bat problem

[Xenezie]

You need to run cmd and get into your database directory

Once you're in C:\peq_db
Type in this command:
mysql -u root -p and hit enter

Enter in the password you used in the instance configuration wizard.
You'll get a welcome screen, and a mysql> prompt, then you need to enter the following:

set password for 'root'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');

In the newpwd field I would use the same password you used to log in, just hit enter and you should get a response. That may fix the problem.
