- First things first. Log in as root and stop the mysql daemon. Now lets start up the mysql daemon and skip the grant tables which store the passwords.
- mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
- You should see mysqld start up successfully. If not, well you have bigger issues. Now you should be able to connect to mysql without a password.
- mysql --user=root mysql
- update user set Password=PASSWORD('new-password') where user='root';
- flush privileges;
- exit;
