[cobalt-users] [RaQ3 - mySQL] How to kill mysqld ?? root password forget

["R.Batalla" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I inherit from previous hostmaster a RaQ3 with mySQL 3.22, some working
databases and PHP 3.0.14 wrong instaled.

After installation of PHP 4.0.3pl1 from sources all work fine, but
surprise!! I can't log to mySQL for create db because root password for
mySQL is missing.

After read the chapter '20.11 How to reset a forgotten password.' from mySQL
manual, I telnet and type the command that I read:

kill `cat /var/log/mysql/mysql.pid`  :-( No permission.....)

cd /var/log/mysql
ls -all

Yes, the file is here... ok

kill mysql.pid  :-(( Same result )

Somebody can help me please ???
