I have a major issue of sorts ;-)

I have no idea what the password for root is
I have tried a a number of recommended edits to try and either delete or
replace the password but all have failed.

The rpm on FC3 CD will not permit removal as yum has updated the file
routine.  I d/l the currant rpm and it will not allow removal. It says,
this in not installed..

Any good thoughts short of re-installing everything and that is not a
viable idea..

I need I think a way to un-install mysql and do a clean install..

Any thoughts ??
Thanks

Yah I've had that happen to me before. I think there's a better solution to what I'm about to suggest, I'll google for it later.

# service mysql stop
# mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql_working
# rpm -e MySQL-server # you may need to erase some other packages to get this to work

then

# yum insall MySQL   # if that's what you really want
or
browse to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html and download the necessary RPMS and
# rpm -ivh MySQL*.rpm

After you get your mysql back up and running, copy back in your database from /var/lib/mysql_working , ensuring not to copy the mysql database. Then just resetup your perms for the dbases and tables.
