Hi, I messed up and am not 100% clear on how to retrace my steps:
I was using PHPMyadmin, and selected "Users". Under "Grants" I selected the wrong table, and clicked "revoke priveleges" (I know, but it happened)
So I did a restore from tape and that did not solve the problem (but did show my tape backup works!)
Anyway from the command line I tried this:
Any suggestions on how to fix?
[root@nebula7653 root]# mysql --user=root mysql
