I have just created a root password in MySQL without using the PASSWORD
function.

In the user table i put in a root password,  like this.....

mysql> UPDATE user SET Password='new_password' WHERE user='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Now i am denied access. How do start the mysql server now?

The manual wasnt clear that the password() function should have been
used when inserting the password into the table.

Please help. Thank you very much.
