you should rename database mysql to another database first
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop
mv /var/lib/mysql/mysql /var/lib/mysql/mysql_old
mysql_install_db
/etc/rd.d/init.d/mysql start
now root password is blank.

forget password or password error?
/usr/bin/safe_mysql --skip-grant-tables
mysql -u root mysql
enter this query
update user set password=password('some-password') where user='root';
then restart your mysql server normally.
do not play game with your root password. after change password, run query
'FLUSH PRIVILEGES'.
