Lost username and password to MySQL server....

Hello All,
I have been using the MySQL control center and had my usernames and
passwords for the MySQL server stored in the control center.
I recently lost everything on my PC including the usernames and
passwords.

Does anyone know if there is a way to reset or remove the passwords
from MySQL so that I can make new ones?

I do have the root password for the server that MySQL is running on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Anthony
