Darn! I must have either made a typo or my use of a ";" in the MySQL root password so now I am locked out.
Is there a work around or do I have to uninstall MySQL and reinstall?
service mysqld stop mysqld_safe --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables & mysql -u root update mysql.user set password=password("blahcopter") where user="root"; flush privileges; exit; service mysqld restart
Written from (very volatile) memory so double check the commands..
