This is probably a stupid question... but did you stop the MySQL instance before you tried starting it again (using mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables ? You say it "asks for a password"... you are referring to a subsequent attempt to connect to the database from the mysql command line client (not the password prompt from sudo). I apologize if those are stupid questions. But your question omits any mention of stopping mysql, and doesn't demonstrate how you are attempting to connect.
