-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi everyone,
I have searched the archives and read the manual but am at a loss as to
how to get my root password back (or change it)
The trick appears to be to start mysqld with --skip-grant-tables but I
can't seem to do it. Here is what I've done:
Hi Nick
It'll be something like:
/usr/bin/safe_mysqld --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --skip-grant-tables
Cheers

Are your databases in /var/lib/mysql ?IT is trying to startup with reading
databaseses from that path but i think it can't..
Also check the error log file to see what's going on.
Sounds reasonable, 2
and all of your other
accounts are unaffected.

It's OK Nick - it started. It's just writing that to the terminal
window. Hit enter to get the command prompt back (or ctrl-c if that
doesn't work).

Ah...
Do you have permissions over the mysql directories?
Can you start safe_mysqld as root? (purely for problem solving
purposes ;)
And of course - are your databases in /var/lib/mysql?

Try
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@'%'
IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Or you could always do a straight
INSERT INTO user VALUES('%','root',password('mypassword'),
'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y');
