OK, thanks, that helped - once or twice. After some more "experimenting",
unfortunately, all access attempts are now denied. After running
mysql_install_db over and over again (with no error mesages) and countless
attempts to set the password using mysqladmin with all possible
combinations of usernames, passwords, hosts and sockets I can think of
(there are not that many of course), I still cannot connect. So, I'm now
left wondering if there isn't a way to reinitialize the server to some
/well/-defined state from which I can restart building tables??? Thx
