无法与mysql连接（忘记密码）

Question

I am using xampp-1.7.2 on windows-7. I forgot my mysql password or some other setting is done wrongly. Even I am not able to use localhost/phpmyadmin. It is giving below error-

1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I reinstalled the xammp as well but still the same problem is occurring. Kindly suggest how this problem can be addressed.

Have a look ;)

cmd: or wherever xampp/mysql/bin exists

C:\> cd "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin"
C:\> mysqld -nt --init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt

mysql-init.txt:

SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPass');
