Hello.
I have also tried mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --user=root
Don't run mysqld under root (even more - fresh versions should
automatically skip this option). What exactly have you done to
restore root password? Please provide exact SQL statements.
What user is 'Access denied'
I tried to go into mysql with root and the password I had set, and access was
refused.
I finally gave up and decided to reset the root password using the techniques
described on
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/resetting-permissions.html
This is a linux machine running mysql Your MySQL
