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
