[cobalt-users] MYSQL Password

["Danny Daniels" <dcd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a programmer who set up a mysql database on a RAQ4 server.  Apperantly
he set up MYSQL with a password.
Would this be the account listed in  /etc/passwd as mysql

Since there is most likely  no way to discover or recover the password, How
would I reset the password ?

Is it a function of mysql  (mysql -p )

or is it set in the OS

Would this work

#passwd mysql xyz123

I am searching the web as I type
