title: Unable to Access Mysql
body: <p>Trying <code>Mysql</code> for first time.  I never set a password but I was unable to access the program.  I tried to reset a password with following method.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[sudo] password for zphinx:   * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld 
    [ OK ]  zphinx@zphinx-X550CC ~ $ sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
    &amp; [1] 6301 zphinx@zphinx-X550CC ~ $ 170507 18:08:30 mysqld_safe Can't
    log to error log and syslog at the same time.  Remove all --log-error
    configuration options for --syslog to take effect. 170507 18:08:30
    mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/log/mysql/error.log'. 170507 18:08:30
    mysqld_safe A mysqld process already exists</p>
