User root locked out.

Hello,

I have mysql 4.0.16 database running on a windows machine, it was
running fine. I didn't use it for a week and now when I try to go into
it and delete some records it tells me access denied for root, I can't
create users or modify anything. When I do a show grants it says all
grants for user root.

Has anyone been locked out of the db? Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
P.S I don't have a big background on dbs, I've search the google list
but could not find something that worked on my machine.

Thanks.
Karen
