anyone can run mysql on my server,

on my local server, i can run mysql with any name, such as:
mysql -u 123;
mysql -u ppp;......

i can use anyone to replace "123" or "ppp", but I could not use root to repalce "123" or "ppp", cause i set password for root.
so boloney!
hope I can get help, thank in advance

Hi

Are you only able to connect to MySQL or are you also able to access data when you're connected (select, update, etc)

If you are able to retrieve data you can try to use the REVOKE command to change that.(http://www.mysql.com/Manual/manual.html#GRANT)

If you want to connect as root when you've set the password use:
mysql -u root -p
then you type in your password and you're up and running

Hope this helps you.
