Hi there,

Restart the mysql server with option "--skip-grant-tables". 
You can then login without password. And then you reset your password  with 
the update command like this:

UPDATE user SET password='' WHERE user='root';

Restart the server again.

Set a new password with mysqladmin like this:

mysqladmin -u root password xxx
mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges

(xxx is your new password)
That should be it.

Mysql has a nice manual by the way where it is all described detailed, comes 
in very handy to have such a print close, just in case ;-)

Best regards
