The only time I ever did this, I did the following: - safe_mysqld --skip-grant-tables - mysql -u root mysql - update user set password=password("mypass") where user="root"; - exit - mysqladmin -u root reload - mysql -uroot -p - enter mypass That allowed me back in with the correct password. You don't seem to be including the -u marker in the options you have tried above.
