Similarly - how about
- take a copy of you original mysql database tables
- overwrite the mysql database tables with the original installation tables
- login as root (the password will be blank)
- import your orignial tables back into the mysql database
good luck

You can reinstall the complete system from scratch, if you are
superuser to that system. Would be the easiest way to do it, I
guess.
