Hey guys!

I tried to change my Mysql password, and this happens. (777 permissions have done)

I trying with this codes:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server stop
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
mysql -u root
use mysql
update user set password=PASSWORD('yourpassword') where user='root';
flush privileges;
quit
service mysql-server restart

When start running with "mysql -u root" the error will happens what is: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (38)
