Hi all,


Just a quick question. A friend of mine installed a mysql on a new FreeBSD 
box, and for some reason the root password wasnt empty. He has root access 
on the box but cant get into mysql as root to make the needed changes to 
mysql ready for use.

Is there any way a user logged on as root can reset the mysql root password 
so he can go in and reset it ?


Thanks


Chris
