My Sql root password issues.
I installed mysql about 2 months ago. The computer crashed and I just got around to fixing it. I forgot the root password. I have tried a bunch of them and its not working.
So I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, but when it gets to the stage where I enter my root password it still asks for the old one. I have tried reseting it with the mysql-init.txt method listed in the online documentation. Thats not working. Its my computer, so I can do anything I need to get it fixed, but I cannot think of another way to fix it. Maybe a reg edit after I unistall? I do not need any information in the data base, so I can erase it or anything you reccomend.
Does anyone have an idea?
do you need to keep the data that is currently in your db? if not, then uninstall, delete the databases it leaves behind, reinstall

you tried this?

Yep, it runs without issue and still fails. Since I am at work, I will try again when I get home. Maybe I just did something wrong, or had a typo.
Thanks.
Ok, i will do this. I do not need anything in the database(nothing in it because it crashed right when i installed it.).
Thanks.
There’s a recipe to do this on mysql.com
Dunno why that mirror is the first hit on google.
