I do not know if this is the right way or not but this is how I have done it:
Delete Mysql-Version folder, from where you installed MySQL. It is normally in '/usr/local' folder. Then re-install MySQL. Hope it works. Kirti -----Original Message----- From: FayeC SQL [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 12:39 PM To: MySQL List Subject: Clean Reinstall I am extremely frustrated with the root passwordproblem. I read the manual and followed the instructions but it just won't work. I tried setting a newpassword but then when I insert the new passoword it says the password it wrong..... In any case...I want to uninstall MySQL and try a new clean install. What would be the procedure to do a VERY clean install?
