Someone already replied with [what looks like] a usable response, but
for some reason they neglected the "correct" resources: The MySQL FAQ!
Question 20.11 is entitled "How to Reset a Forgotten Password".  You
can find the answer at:

http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Problems.html#Resetting_permissions

P.S.  I really didn't mean the above to be offensive (some people
would say it is); I just thought I'd point out the Right Way(tm) in
case there's something else in the FAQ which may be of assistance to
you (or one of the lurkers/archive searchers).
