Re: Can not connect to database in Workgroup-Net on Windows-XP

The error you are getting is because of the password not been passed
correctly so 'trust' will let you get in the server without specifying the
correct password, once you are in now you can change the password as you
like using ALTER USER command. Once its done change it back to md5 as it was
before.
