Hi!
If you are going to go about setting the password in this fashion,
then you need to make sure to use the password() function in your
UPDATE statement. For example:
UPDATE user set Password=password('***') where User='root';
To connect to your server in it's current state (with bad root passwd)
you need to start mysqld with the '--skip-grant-tables' option.
In the future, instead of restarting the mysql daemon for changes to
the grant tables to take effect, check out 'FLUSH PRIVILEGES'.
