MYSQL workbench was updating itself tonight when it got stuck on the password screen and collapsed.
The thing is that everything on MYSQL seems to have been deleted!!! Everything got reset to initial settings and even the root password was unset.
The problem was not limited to the Workbench and as all our databases are not show even from the command line.
What could have caused this to happen, and is there a way to recover the databases? The data folder on the MYSQL folder is not empty and there are some large files.
We are using a windows environment. Thank you for any help regarding this topic.
