Victoria thanks for the response but I was able to solve my issue already. Yes I needed to run mysql_install_db then I started the safe_mysql --skip-grant, logged on as root without password and updated the root user's password on the user table. Thanks for the help!!!

Did you have installed MySQL server before or you run mysql_install_db after installation? mysql_install_db doesn't re-create grant tables if they exist. In this case use your old password. If you install MySQL at the first time user 'root' doesn't have a password.
