HTML Offline Searchable SRD 3.5 v1.2 released

I've tried to import the .sql into MySQL, but no success so far.

I've installed phpMyAdmin, ran it fine, created a new database, selected a dump to import and got a message "no SQL query". After several tries it crashed by browser (Opera).

I've had no previous experience with all that stuff. What I'm doing wrong? Yeah, I know, phpMyAdmin can't import files larger than 2 MB, but maybe I'll be lucky?

Hmmm. I use phpMyAdmin, but only to create the database. I import from the command line, like so:

mysql -u username -p dnd35 < sqlfile.sql

Works fine for me, but I've heard the same comments about phpMyAdmin from other people.

Ok, but what are the username and password? I'm running a local MySQL server from the EasyPHP 1.7 package (on Windows - shame on me :d), and being the clueless newbie that I am I have no idea how to guess the password. Running mysql as above I get something like "ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'ODBC@localhost' (Using password: YES)" (I set my own pasword in the my.ini file, but that's about all I can fix).

I've never used MySQL on Windows, but from what I can read, the root username doesn't have a password by default.
