mysql set root password
usemysql;
update user set authentication_string=PASSWORD("mynewpassword") where User='root';
flush privileges;
quit
#Change or update mysql root password#Go to win cmd and cd into C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin#Then type in the following: (password - current root password)
mysqladmin -u root -p password newpass
$ sudo cat /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
Note the lines which read:
user = debian-sys-maint
password = blahblahblah
Then:
$ mysql -u debian-sys-maint -p
Enter password: // type 'blahblahblah', ie. password from debian.cnf
mysql>USE mysql
mysql>SELECT User, Host, plugin FROM mysql.user;
+------------------+-----------+-----------------------+| User | Host | plugin |+------------------+-----------+-----------------------+| root | localhost | auth_socket || mysql.session | localhost | mysql_native_password || mysql.sys | localhost | mysql_native_password || debian-sys-maint | localhost | mysql_native_password |+------------------+-----------+-----------------------+4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql>UPDATE user SET plugin='mysql_native_password'WHERE User='root';
mysql>COMMIT; // When you don't have auto-commit switched on
Either:
mysql>ALTERUSER'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIEDBY'new_password';
Or:
// For MySQL 5.7+UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('new_password') where user='root';
Then:
mysql>FLUSHPRIVILEGES;
mysql>COMMIT; // When you don't have auto-commit switched on
mysql>EXIT
$ sudo service mysql restart
$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password: // Yay! 'new_password' now works!
