On Linux Mint, I'd like to reset the MySQL root password. From this answer, I've run the commands:



sudo service mysql stop
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
mysql -u root


after which I receive:




ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)




Help appreciated.
