OK I get what you mean except that I installed on debian potato and
therefore do not have the reinit step since I used apt-get. Do you have any
ideas on this one.
Thanks again jm

Why not just reinit the database as specified in the
last step on install (after make install) in the manual.
No need to delete your database, just back them up
somewhere else. Then delete eveyrthing in your
localstatedir (where thedatabases are) including
'mysql' dir. Do reinit, and copy back all databases
except the 'mysql' database. Now you are at the
original start position.

Subject: Start from scratch
Hello all
I have made a mess of the grant table and have no way now of gaining
access
to any of the databases I have set up or tables. Is there any way I
can
start from scratch with the grant table by going back to a situation
were
all databases are deleted and no access privileges are set up. is it
nessassary to reinstall mysql to achieve this or is there another
way. I am
running debian potato. If I do need to reinstall how do I completely
UN install first.
Many thanks in advance
John-Mark
