Upgrading from eesg4.1.2 to SME5.0 changes the root password in MySQL from a 7 digit field to some huge 75 character field. Since I run a MySQL database in an Ibay, I had to change this password im a couple of my scripts. (Yes, I *now* know I should not run MySQL as the MySQL root user...)
Instead of changing the scripts, I thought I would change the password - and of course messed it up. I now don't know what my root password is for MySQL.
According to this page
http://www.mysql.com/doc/A/c/Access_denied.html "If you have forgot the root password, you can restart mysqld with --skip-grant-tables to change the password."
Ummmm, O.K., any hints on how to go about this???
