Recover lost MySQL pw

[hostpc.com]

How can I recover the main (root) mysql password - or reset it to something else? is there a shadow file created?

[S2S-Robert]

and how about the system passwords of other services such as apache? They run under the apache user and I saw that this user has gotten several e-mails which I'd like to download via POP3.

Hello,

The proper way to get the apache emails would be to create a forwarder in /etc/aliases:

apache: email@address.com

but to set the apache password.. just type:

passwd apache
