hi.
log in as root, kill the mysqld process.
restart mysqld with the --skip-grant option.
once it is running you can connect and alter the password directly in the
'mysql' table.
maybe a flush privileges to reload the permissions after that?
you really just forgot the password you typed, didn't you? :]

Subject: Password option
I have recently tried to install a new Trouble Ticket application on a Unix
machine that was previously administered by somebody else. They have set a
password to MySQL and I cannot into it of course. Does anybody know how to
reset or disable this feature if you have root access to the machine?
Thanks,
