Did you check Egor's last message to you on the list? After starting mysqld with --skip-grant-tables you should be able to connect with this: mysql -u root on the server, otherwise use mysql -u root -h your.server.ip.address
It won't be of much help if you can't get 'root' working. Please try to get that right first and then check your own account.
