Good day Rob,
I installed xampp to run the opensis software, but after installation of the xampp and opensis, i logged out of both and tried to log back in, i get the error message #1045-Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: YES), i have tried to reset the mysql root password using resetboot.bat file but it shows cannot find file specified.
I have little knowlwedge about using cmd and editing conf files, all the forums i have checked don’t explain their steps in details. so please can you assist me on this…
thank you

i used word for a long time on a personal document of mine, and wound up losing weeks worth of data because the feature got turned on automatically, from my experience, microsoft word is an application lacking bug-fix support, and is hardly worth using when broken functions like this cause lasting permanent damage to your documents.

I applied the security measures as outlined by you.Every thing seemed to be OK till I tried to access local host. It did ask for user name and password. But when I entered the required data I got a message about internal server error etc. I had to uninstal/reinstal XAMPP and am quite happy with insecure XAMPP.
P.S.: I am sure that I had entered correct username and password.
