Thanks. I tried the recommended command, and got:
>sudo /etc/init.d/mysql reset-password
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service mysql reset-password
The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart
job, but reset-password is not supported for Upstart jobs.
:-)
Maybe a remove and re-install mysql is called for, but are there other
things that would be affected by doing this?
