Injecting a user account into mySQL
Tackling a strange scenario here. 

We use a proprietary workstation management application which uses mySQL to store its data. Within the application they provide number of reports, such as which user logged into which machine at what time, all the software products installed on the monitored machines, so on and so forth. We are looking to do a different set of reports, however, they do not support custom reports.

Since their data is being stored in mySQL, I gather I can do the reporting manually. I don't have valid credentials to connect to the mySQL server though. <b>Is there anyway for me to create a user account in the mySQL server?</b> I do not want to reset the root password or anything account that might be in there, as it might break the application.

Thanks for your help.
