I installed LAMP on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) and then set root password on phpMyAdmin. I forgot the password and now I am unable to login. When I try to change password through terminal I get:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket
‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)
How can I fix this? I am unable to open LAMP, uninstall it or reinstall it.
