Souza -

You can start your MySQL server with the --skip-grant-tables option.
Then you have free root access and can update your password. Don't
forget to restart the server without the --skip-grant-tables option when
you have fix it.

Details about --skip-grant-tables can be found here:

Hope this helps.
