Determining MySQL User Account Settings/Changing Pass, Server 5.1 on Win. (1 reply)

Hi All- I'm in a new situation where I have to change passwords for users on a 5.1 install I did not set up and for which I have *no* root password.

Given:
a) I can start in --skip-grant-tables mode and run SQL commands in the mysql shell
b) I have admin access to the Win 2003 server where the install resides
c) I can create a batch file that changes the --init settings and apply SQL to update the root password, but I'm not clear on where the root password lives
d) There is a user.frm file in [install dir]\Databases\data\mysql
e) I have a particular database I can use, which is where I really need to do the database account updating, but mysql says [db name].users does not exist

I'm wondering how user accounts are set up so I can update the root password...frustration.

Thanks in advance.

Tom
