[QUOTE="legnod, post: 866336, member: 115719"] Hi, uninstalling and reinstalling a MySQL Server can be very hard because there are some problems that can occur. The "root" user is the default user of the MySQL and will be created automatically at the installation from the MySQL Server Installer. I think that your problem occurs because of the default password MP uses for this "root" user. MP normally uses "MediaPortal" as password for the root. If you uninstall MySQL this password/security settings will not be deleted and if you try to reinstall an MySQL Server you need to type in the password for the root user from the old/removed installation AND the password you want to use for the new installation. To avoid this problem you need to delete every possible folder from MySQL. It seems that you have forgotten a folder. Check if all MySQL Folders has been deleted. [LIST] [*]C:\ProgramFiles\MySQL [*]C:\ProgrammData\MySQL\ [*]C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MySQL [/LIST] I hope i didnt forget a folder but i think this should be all of them. if you still got this Problems just write a message.
