You need to stop your MySQL process and then startup MySQL without the grant tables (skip-grant-tables option). You can then change the password.
Here some documentation on how to do it in Windows, but it's pretty much the same for Unix.

Hi all:

Long time ago I've installed MySQL on my Debian Machine and I'm pretty sure I did'n left the "sa" pwd blank as recommended.

Now, I'm installing other apps that need that "sa" pwd in order to be installed properly but....I can't remember the pwd.

is possible to recover the sa password?

how?
