restore root access to mysql

I'm another linux noob running redhat 9 and the included mysql. I had it
working using phpmyadmin to configure it until I follishly removed my
permisions for root trying to secure my server in phpmyadmin. Is there
anyway to get this back? I've tried the grant options but I can't even
logon to mysql as root@localhost. Thanks for any tips.

I'm trying to move a database from one machine to another. I dumped the database and successfully loaded it on one machine, but I can't do it on another machine. I have the database set up. I created the user to access the database, and gave all privs with grant option for that database. But when I go to run the command to restore the database, I get the following error: $ mysql -u user -p database < database.sql Enter password:

Subject: Can you retrieve/restore a MySQL user Password ? I'm working on my own, local WXP, MySQL, version: 3.23.38-nt and I have the "root" password, and normally use the root account. I have forgotten one of the Passwords for a user account which I have set up. Is there any way to UnEncrypt the users password, so I can use that account again ? Any handy function that the "root" account can use, to determine a user's password ? OR

Hi gang: I'm experiencing a problem with MySQL -- I updated MySQL from version 4.1.0 to 4.1.10 and now when I login as root it doesn't show all the databases I should have access to, nor it doesn't recognize me being logged in as root (via CURRENT_USER().) Here it is, line-by-line. Inline comments are denoted by '//'

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
