Hmmm, normally one would start the server with:

	mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

and connect:

	mysql -uroot

however, I suspect that that will not work.

Prob the best thing is to provide you with a new mysql table.
These tables are not machine type specific, so please tell us what version
of mysql you are running and we can mail you a new one (move the
old one sideways first). Alternatively you will be able to get them
from the package management system for your distribution.
