Hi all,

I've been using MySQL for over a year now and I didn't install anything special recently, yet I suddenly find myself locked out of MySQL.

I'm using version 3.23.49 and I'm running Mac OS 10.4.6 fully up-to- date. I normally connect using the root-user but this afternoon I first got a socket error. Not the first time so I just reboot the server, socket error is gone but now I'm getting "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' ". I restarted the server a few times and even rebooted my system.

I can't connect using php, terminal, MySQL Administrator, ...

After a quick search on the http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/ resetting-permissions.html page. I tried that but alas, no change...

This might be a good time to update to MySQL 4 if I can get my data out, but I don't see that happening without me getting access to the server once again.

Does anyone have a solution?


Thank you for your time
