Hello to all,

I have lost my root account and looked up on internet a possible solution, which was :
1) Shut down mysql (locally)

2) executed :
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD("some_new_password") WHERE User="root";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

3) re-started mysql

4)easyPHP : when to admin

5) type in : user : root, password : some_new_password

still can not connect as root!

Is there another way about restoring the root account ?

Thanks to anyone that can help me

PS : phpMyAdmin 2.9.1.1
Version du client MySQL: 5.0.22
