Hi
For some strange reason I am now unable to access mysql with phpmyadmin - do not know what I have made of changes!
I have tried to reset the password with the following sequence of commands:
cd /var/service/mysqld
sv d .
expand-template /root/.my.cnf
expand-template /var/service/mysqld/set.password
/usr/libexec/mysqld --bootstrap --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables < ./set.password
sv u .
But I am still unable to access mysql. BTW it looks to me that the above commands reset a user named mysql and not root/admin user but I may be wrong?
In any case I get the following error when I log into mysql with phpmyadmin:
#1045 - Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Please give me a hint :P
Regards
Benny

Moving this topic to SME 7.x Contribs as it is more appropriate there.

Never start by that. First try and properly diagnose what you are doing is correct.
But I am still unable to access mysql.
How are you accessing MySQL you never showed us, it should be enough to login as root user on the SME Server shell and type just mysqlCan you verify that that still works?

Yes you are :-) It uses a user mysql to execute the queries in the file, it can do so as it uses the skip-grant-tables option as to temporarily disable credential checking (a special routine to regain access when locked out).
In any case I get the following error when I log into mysql with phpmyadmin:
#1045 - Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Please give me a hint :P

Yes it should have, it tells you to report problems in the bugtracker and not here (it even provides you a direct link). Every time you post a message the same advice is given to you as well:
Don't report problems here - Please report bugs and potential bugs in the bug tracker
