If you are not using this version, you can find a mysqld_safe suitable for your current version in the mysql installation directory, followed by -- skip-grant-tables to skip the authorization table, the mysqld_safe version I used in my book is "safe_mysqld" (actually, I think I 've remembered it here. Where did I see that I changed sqfe_mysqld to mysqld_safe after 5.0, this caused me to find it online for half a day.) bitsCN.com
