LinuxQuestions.org - Debian-MySQL

Hello,
I have an MySQL Database on my own Server. I have saved the password of them in FileZilla. But today the "save" was away, and I have forgotten my Password (root).
So i would reset the password and searched in the Internet and than used this commands:

Quote:

/etc/init.d/mysql stop
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables

but with: mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
I got this output:

Quote:

150102 23:11:45 mysqld_safe Logging to syslog.
150102 23:11:45 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql

and nothing happens, so I used ctrl+c and then get this Error:

Quote:

error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!
150102 23:14:50 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ended

I changed my root Password of MySQL now, with an other method, but when I try to connect with FileZilla on the Server (with root) I get every time this Error:

Quote:

Error: Authentication failed.
Error: Critical error: Failed to connect to server

(My Error was in German, this is only translated)

I don´t know, what do to...

I hope some of you can help me, also with not many Informations but i also don´t have more...
