I have installed MySql version 5.0 locally onto my laptop.

I have problems when I change locations from the office to home, "Could not connect to specified instance. MySQL Error 1045 Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password:YES)"

I have a static ip address at work and but not when connect from home, but I don't see why this should be an issue as the install is local to my machine.

To get round this problem last time I had to uninstall and then reinstall MySQL but this is not really on every time I change locations.

does anyone have any ideas?

thanks in advance
