For Mysql Database

1. Stop the mysql service. [Run as Zimbra]

 $ mysql.server stop

2. Modify the /opt/zimbra/bin/mysql.server to start the mysql with skipping the grant tables. [Run as ROOT]

 # vi /opt/zimbra/bin/mysql.server

Modify the following:

     --defaults-file=${mysql_mycnf} \
     --external-locking \
     --ledir=${mysql_directory}/libexec < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 &
  TO
     --defaults-file=${mysql_mycnf} \
