The craziest thing just happened. I started apache and mysql using the xampp control panel. Then I used the windows command line and was in mysql/bin to login into mysql as usual by typing

'mysql -u root -p'

When I try to login it says ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

I didn't do anything different but restart my computer. Was there a step I forgot to do before logging into mysql?
My logins have worked before, so it can't be any of the settings.

You can follow the instructions in the MYSQL manual under the heading MYSQL 5.0 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS->SECURITY->RESET ROOT PASSWORD.
