Answer 1

You need to create an user "ODBC" for MySql with no password. Do that in PHPMyAdmin. That will solve your problem.

But remember, if it's only your local development environment, no problem. It'll create a serious security hole in your production environment.

I encountered this problem today. I tried mysql -u root -p, but it doesn't work. I restarted the mysql service by two commands: net stop mysql and net start mysql then tried the command mysql. It worked.
