[cobalt-users] RaQ4 MySQL Lost root password



hi all,

I lost the root password for MySQL.

i have followed the howto's in hte archive but they don't seem to work for me. I first of all did :

/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop

Then I did this:

[root admin]# /usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant-tables
Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root!
010906 16:39:09  Aborting

010906 16:39:09  /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

[root admin]#

what am i doing wrong? I really need the access back now.

Please help me :o(
