Well its not your fault,its actually confusing
the documentation says run the mysqld command
with the skip-grant-tables option but there is
no such command available (atleast in my 
box) i found the command hidden in /usr/libexec/mysqld
but that 2 gives error.
safe_mysqld is indeed the command for this,thanks
for the help
