i don't know how your RaQ4 works, but on the Qube3 I had a time getting
mySQL to shut down.. it did not show up in the list of processes running...
ended up using "killall mysql", then restarted the mysql in "safe" mode..
issue a set password query to update root password, and you are on your way!
Hope this helps,
Chris
