[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 /]# /usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant-tables
Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to
run mysqld as root!
011203 17:29:11  Aborting

011203 17:29:11  /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

[root /]#
what am i doing wrong? I really need the access back now.

Please help me :o(
