Description:
I went in and tried to add a new connection, I changed the password type to obscured and added the connection.

I got some error message, and it puked.

Now when I try to use the Administrator, all I get is this. 

Debug Error!
Program....MySQLAdministrator.exe
DAMAGE: after normal block (#54) at 0x00E92BB8.

Abort, Retry, Ignore.

How to repeat:
I guess create a new connection

Thanks for reporting!

There is an issue with the Password Storage when set to Obscured.

This will be fixed asap.

In the meanwhile you could take the following steps to workaround this issues:

Please go to c:\Documents and Settings\[YourUsername]\Application Data\MySQL.
Delete all files located in this directory.

Then, after restarting the Administrator, instantly click [...] and change the Password Storage to plain.

Also already verified by Michael.
