Can't login into phpMyAdmin
I have been battling with this since 9AM and it is past 7:30 PM. My application was not able to communicate with mySQL. So I wanted to make sure I could get into it through phpMyAdmin. I can bring up the login screen(via localhost/phpmyadmin) in my browser, but It won't take my user and password. I've tried stopping it, running sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables &, and then starting it. No dice. when I type mysql at the CLI I get
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
This makes sense since I don't have a /var/run/ directory.
I tried mysql -u richb201 -p but I get
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
Is there anyway for me to remove mysql and just reinstall it?
Here is my current mysqld.conf which is NOT in the /run/ directory
[mysqld_safe]
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
nice = 0
[mysqld]
#
# * Basic Settings
#
user = mysql
pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
port = 3306

datadir = /var/lib/mysql

Is there anyway for me to remove mysql and just reinstall it?
Yes there is:
sudo apt remove mysql-server
or
sudo apt purge mysql-server
The latter will ensure that all packages related to the installation are removed including configuration files.
Then to reinstall:
sudo apt install mysql-server
To set mysql root password run sudo mysql_secure_installation command.
