Forgot mySQL root Password?

Just chill. Not in a bad situation, You're in right place to solve your problem.

Once I lost my MySQL root password, but was able to recover it in the following way.

1. Stop the mysqld daemon process.
# service mysqld stop
or
# /etc/init.d/mysqld stop
or
# chkconfig mysqld off

2. Start the mysqld daemon process with the --skip-grant-tables option.
# mysqld --skip-grant-tables

3. Start the mysql client with the -u root option.
# mysql -u root

4. Execute the following SQL command to set a new password.
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('password') WHERE User='root';

5. Execute the following SQL command to refresh mySQL engine server.
# FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

******************************

Enjoy mySQL-ing.
