Thanks for the help. On Solaris 10 the system states that ” you are using safe mode and tried to update a table without a WHERE that uses a KEY colum… any ideas???

Great help. Works after I realized that the password is “ualue=42″ and not “value=42″ since I cut/pasted your instructions.

Thank you very much. My installation did not include mysqld_safe or mysql-nt, but for some reason “mysqld –skip-grant-tables &” seems to have worked when other methods did not.

Don’t worry @H4king, I have no intentions to look up people IPs + “42″ would not be the password people would use.

However, thanks for the clever concern
