help dong sepuh. ane kan install mysql. tapi mysqlnya minta password

[root@localhost amet]# mysql -u root -p

Enter password:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password:YES)

padahal mysqlnya udah ane reset passwordnya pake cara ini

/etc/init.d/mysqld stop

mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

mysql -u root

mysql> use mysql;

mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD("newrootpassword") where User='root';

mysql> flush privileges;

mysql> quit

/etc/init.d/mysqld stop

/etc/init.d/mysqld start

terus gw kasi password yang udah gw reset tetep error begini

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password:YES)

ada saran laen gak sepuh?
thanks before
