upgrading mysql

[gilly]

Hello all

I uninstalled older version of mysql 4.025 or some ancient thing.

Now i didnt back up the database, but thought i could move the data folder over

Is there any way to get back into the old data?

Its the password access i think.....

Made a huge blunder but is there a way to put things in order -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
