Thanks for the reply! I followed both methods in the following URL / link:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-unix

After doing both successfully, I was unable to login over and over. I
think something is wrong with MySQL. I have never seen this before :(
