How do you delete all MySQL passwords?

[zwhit]

Ok, so I forgot my MySQL password for my Private Server and how do you delete previous passwords of your MySQL and create a new one?

Just before I execute everything, MySQL asks for

Present:

Old Password:_________
New Password:_________
Re-Type New Password:________

Thats what mine looks like.
But if I deleted my previous passwords, MySQL should now look like this:

Future:

New Password:_______
Old Password:________

How do I make it look like the "Future:" code?

There is no way to get back to the "future" code, as in you cannot perminantely delete a password, even if you uninstall. However, to make a totally new Mysql, go to the task manager (ctrl, alt, delete) and then go into the "processes" tab at the top. Find "mysqld-nt.exe" and right click it-and choose "end process tree." Then re-cofigure MYSQL using the MYSQL instance config wizard. You will still have to re-enter your current password but, you now are running on a totally different MYSQL. If you dont remember your old password:

1. go to start----> control panel
2. click "add or remove programms"
3. scroll down until you see "Mysql Server 5.0 (or whatever version you are using)"
4.click remove (the button to the far right)
5. then youll have to re-install MYSQL
6. If you install the same version, then it will still prompt you with:

Old Password:_________
New Password:_________
Re-Type New Password:________

however DO NOT enter in the "old password."
If you do all of these steps correcty, you will not need to enter in your old password

Go to your Control Panel,

Remove the MySQL program.

Go to the MySQL folders location, and delete everything inside the folder. Or just as much it allows you.

Then go install MySQL again.
