What distribution are you running? Is this on a computer you setup, or is this a hosting provider or a remote machine? It appears you are running as root, so I'd guess at least that you have actual root access to this machine. In a blindingly way off attempt to get in, I'd try your root password:
mysql -u root -p

And enter your root password. Your other options are outlined on this page:

Use this to change your root password

Quote:

Do so:

service mysql stop

wait until MySQL shuts down. Then run

mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

then you will be able to login as root with no password.

mysql -uroot mysql

In MySQL command line prompt issue the following command:

UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD("abcd") WHERE user="root";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

At this time your root password is reset to "abcd" and MySQL will now
know the privileges and you'll be able to login with your new password:

Then login with your new password as you did before : "mysql -u root -p"

Works well for me,

Hello, i get the same thing so i thought there was no need to start a different thread.
When i try what 'mat087' suggested i get:

Code:

root@:mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

[1] 5979

root@:/var/run/mysqld# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql

mysqld_safe[6040]: started

STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

mysqld_safe[6053]: ended

I will keep trying but can you give me any hint?

I use Ubuntu server 6.06 RC. I am connecting trough ssh. in the /etc/mysql/my.cnf i tryed both with

Code:

bind-address = 127.0.0.1

commented and uncommented.

I really don't know what the problem could be...
Do you stop mysql server before doing anything ?
Do you have anything else running that could be in conflict with mysqld_safe ?

I don't know why you mentioned that you're connected through ssh. But just in case that it can help you, I'm connected through ssh too, and the line "bind-address = 127.0.0.1" is uncommented.
