Public bug reported: The mysql root password stopped working from mysql workbench and the command-line. I tried resetting the root password and got me an error stating the root password could not be reset.
So I completely uninstalled (generally following these directions http://stuffthatspins.com/2011/01/08/ubuntu-10-x-completely-remove-and- clean-mysql-installation/) and reinstalled mysql-server, mysql-common, mysql-client & mysql-workbench. I was prompted to enter a root password and it was accepted successfully, but we given a warning that the root password could not be applied to the mysql instance. Here is my output for the entire apt-get install: sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-common mysql-client mysql-workbench Reading package lists...
