Reset MySql Root Password to Adminer on MACOS

[TampaDave]

I think I mistakenly changed the root password to a dev project on Local when using Adminer on MacOs. I am trying to find out how I can reset the root password or change it so that i again may be able to access my db.

All access is gone so my site no longer works. It is only in dev right now on my laptop using the latest version of Local and latest version of MacOs, Monterey 12.4.

Other sites on my Mac are working as normal.

Or am I toast?
