I am having an issue on OS X 10.7.5 as I used to use MAMP but for .htaccess issues I am now using my own compiled local server from a long time ago, the problem is i forgot the root password for mysql. I have tried updating the password through terminal using mysql -u root, but I get this error message - ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Thanks Ric
