Mysql and php.ini problems

[cmuench]

I am trying to view a page on my site and its giving me this error

FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!

What should I do because I cant find the php.ini file. And my php usually works

/etc/php/apache2-php4/php.ini is what you want.
Register_globals is off by default because php4 uses a different access mechanism for the server variables.

It usually is one or another php applications that specifically wants this - which indicates that it is either old or not very well written.

None of this has to do with mysql, though.

My mysql problem is I can't change the root password is there any way to do this besides remerging mysql and reinstalling the database?
