For some reason beyond me I can’t access the mysql server on a machine. I’m looking at an untouched MT (dv) server with CentOS 5. Any ideas on how to get the root going?

    Start (first stop the running one) your MySQL in safemode with skiped grant tables eg.:

    safe_mysqld --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking 

    Thereafter you should have access to your database without password and could create a new user/password.
