I did all of that sites steps, Matt, with no reported errors, but when I stop 
the special session and restart the regular session, the exact same error is 
returned:
[root@coyote etc]# /etc/init.d/mysqld stop
STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
090216 10:53:05  mysqld ended

Stopping MySQL:                                            [  OK  ]
[1]+  Done                    mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
[root@coyote etc]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
Starting MySQL:                                            [  OK  ]

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

Thanks Matt.
