Paul,

Since you haven't used mysql run the mysql_install_db script.  This will set
everything back to the default.  Can't remember name and password of default
user.

All

Since my co-locator installed mySQL I have had nightmares with it. Now in
the end I either have the wrong root password or I cannot
connect from any host. Either way Im screwed.

I have been on mySQL message boards, but don't seen to get the quality of
answers there as I do here.

Would someone be kind enough to inform me as to how to reset the root
password (what actually to type in and not a description of
what to do) or advise me on how to uninstall mySQL without the mySQL
password.

I am running a RaQ4r.

Kind Regards
