Hello Listers, I have a problem in that I cannot find my user id and password to log into mysql as administrator. I can never remember passwords so I write them all down in a small book however when I reinstalled mysql early last month, evidently I neglected to write down the new user id and password in my book. I haven't touched telnet since then. So now I can't log in to create a new user or do anything else. <sigh> Is it possible to sit down in front of the server logged in as root and find the file that has this information and have a look at it? Maybe if I can see the user names it'll jog my memory as to the password. I can try a couple to see if any work. If this is not possible, what recourse do I have? I don't want to mess with the database and start over and I seriously don't want to have to do anything to mysql as it took me two weeks to get it to work with the DBI perl module. Now that it's working, I'm terrified to touch it in case it breaks. Thanks for any guidance. I promise this time to not forget to write it down.
