If you are still logged in to mysql CLI you can recover from this but what do you do if you logout?

I’m not aware of any trick to recover from this problem so my only solution was to backup all its databases from /var/lib/mysql and then delete /var/lib/mysql. Afterwards I start the mysql daemon so the root user and settings are regenerated.  In the end I move back the databases to /var/lib/mysql and do a service mysqld restart.

Anyone other hints on recovering from this?
