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?

--skip-grant-tables

Check mysql docs next time.

I did use the MySQL 5 manual and the forum, but like so many details in the computer world, unless I know what to search for, it is hard to get the correct answer. The key here is mysqld_safe.

Really sorry to have taken everyone's time...especially for such simple stuff.
