According to the Mysql online manual, to reset a root password one
procedure is to issue the command:
./mysqladmin --skip-grant-tables
to have full access to the database and update the root password as per
the instructions in the manual.
My problem is when I issue the command
./mysqladmin --skip-grant-tables, I get the error message
mysqladmin: ERROR: unknown option '--grant-tables'
I also tried ./mysqladmin --skip-grant-tables --user=root and this
didn't help either
I'm using Mysql version 4.0.17-standard which came bundled with my OS
(Ubuntu Linux Warty)
Pointers much appreciated.
