mistakenly I deleted the mysql root user

Some time back I accidentally deleted the mysql root user. Then when checked mysql then mysql is not accessible to me from root user.

I am using the fedora 14 on my machine. After trying so many things at the end I found the solution.

use the following steps:

First I stoped mysql using following command.

#/etc/init.d/mysqld stop

Then I created one file with following conent

#file mysql_reset

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD(‘newpassword’) WHERE User=’root’;

#mysqld_safe –init-file=/home/techiego/mysql-init &

Than again I stooped mysql process and restarted mysql. I was able to access my mysql again.
