What version have you installed? I would think on Mac OS X you have 3.23.36?
I will give it one last shot. First kill -9 the mysql processes
(mysqladmin shutdown does not work on Mac OS), killing safe_mysql
first. Add a -p when assigning the password, and I think that the
password needs to be in quotes (?):
[localhost:/Users/nezi] root# cd /usr/local
[localhost:/usr/local] root# ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql
--skip-grant-tables &
[localhost:/usr/local] root# ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password "mysql77"
Enter password: (hit return at this point)
[localhost:/usr/local] root# ./bin/mysqladmin flush-privileges
[localhost:/usr/local] root# ./bin/mysql -u root -p
Enter password: mysql77
You can also try:
[localhost:/Users/nezi] root# cd /usr/local
[localhost:/usr/local] root# ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql
--skip-grant-tables &
[localhost:/usr/local] root# ./bin/mysql -u root -p
Enter password: (hit return at this point)
> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD("mysql77") WHERE User="root";
> Exit
[localhost:/usr/local] root# ./bin/mysqladmin flush-privileges
[localhost:/usr/local] root# ./bin/mysql -u root -p
Enter password: mysql77
BTW, if you get an error then there is not point continuing.
