HELP!!!

[jesse]

My Cobalt Raq4r was recently rebooted by my co-lo ISP without contacting me first. Since mysql is not in the shutdown/startup scripts on the server, it was crashed by the process. Now when I start mysql normally, it does not recognize any logins, even root and denies access unless I start it with the ignore option. HELP!!! My ISP is ignorant and cannot help in any way.   Yours truly, Jesse F.
