AFAIK, you can edit the configuration file of mysql in a way, that it
bypasses security (and doesn't ask for any password).
You can then change the root password, and afterwards set the security
settings back.
I don't remember the exact way, but googling with something like that 'lost
root password mysql' should lead you to the right place(s).
