/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("password") where user='root';
flush privileges;
