OK. You can stop mysql with #service mysql stop ?

What happens when you do this?

sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables


If that doesn't work, did you try the other suggestion for *nix?

>there is some language about adding a folder name for mysql.comf?

Do you know where the my.cnf file is? If not, did you follow the instructions on how to find it?

Good luck,
Barry.
