I presume it lets you login OK as root with the blank password? Is there any other reason the USERS table might be read-only, e.g. the O/S permissions or file attributes? Something like copying the install files from a CDROM might leave them read-only, which could cause this problem.

My root password is blank and it's giving me creeps. There MUST be a way to change the root password. I am using the stable recommended release - 5.0.22-community-debug.
