First, there is no need to reinstall.
For future reference, if you forget your password - check the manual for an
easy way to fix: http://www.mysql.com/doc/R/e/Resetting_permissions.html
For a mysql that wont start, check the error log and isolate what the
problem is ( it probably isnt that hard to fix ). The log is probably
/var/lib/mysql/hostname.err , but Im not familiar with redhat so that is
just a guess.
