Because, any one have root access of OS can reset root password of mysqldb, and have fullright accesss to all DBs
Is there any way to protect this?

I think we are talking about the same when when you agree to: If 'root' aint trustworthy you d have a bunch more problems than your DB only.

Yup. you can do encrypted volumes to stop people bypassing the auth and booting from a cd or something, but if someone you don't trust has root on your box, you are toast.
Encrypted volumes would prevent root from rebooting (mount is needed after boot) as well as certain kinds of backup. I won´t go for that.
one thing that does appear possible is if the files aren't local, but on a kerberos-secured NFS share - however, I suspect the performance hit there would be significant, and reboots (with logging back in to restart the session at the command line so you can supply the kinit credentials) would be a nightmare.
