/etc/init.d/mysql stop
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables & [1] 2429 morgui:~# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql mysqld_safe[2466]: started
Window hangs, we go to other console
mysql -u root
use mysql;
update user set password=PASSWORD("") where user='root';
Type your password there inside of those quotes, for example PASSWORD("my_new_password")
flush privileges;
quit;
Back to previous console:
quit;
