Resetting MySQL server password

I've taken over the management of a server for an organization after the previous system administrator left. The problem is, he left without leaving us the passwords for the server. I've managed to crack the root password to copy files from the previous system installation to the one I've set up. The problem is the MySQL installation, - it contains some crucial databases, and the password is different from the system root password. Does anyone know exactly how to reset the MySQL root password through the system?
 
Thanks, - I saw that post a few weeks ago but thought it was for changing the password, requiring the previous one. Everything is backed up now :)
