The file in the /etc/rc.d/init.d is likely called S95mysql, and you CAN add
that parameter to that file. You'll need to edit the file, and add something
like this:
/opt/mysql/bin/mysqld \
--basedir=opt/mysql \
...
--skip-grant-tables \
...
>> /var/log/mysql/mysql.err 2>&1
The ...'s above are other parameters that may or may not be there.

Subject: Changing root password
I'm trying to change the root password for mysql. This is the first time
I've tried to change the password and I can't get it to work. Below is the
error message I get:
[root@localhost bin]# ./mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
Enter password:
./mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'
I've looked at the manual and it doesn't say much that I've already done.
I've also looked up the --skip-grant-tables but the only mysqld file I have
to run is in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory and it doesn't take
the --skip-grant-tables flag. So I'm at a lost at what to do next.
thanks.
