Thanks for your help.  I'll try again as soon as I get to that machine.  But MySQL was not installed by MP, it was installed by myself a long time ago. I run IIS and have various little bits of php code for local forms (i.e. when others are logging into my machine)  input that use MySQL.

 

 From what you've said it looks like I maybe only have to change the password and I think I can recover that - it is written in clear in some of that code I think (all of that was done literally years ago and I haven't looked at it since).
