MySQL Reference Manual has detail steps on how to reset password for root which are as below. Aug 12, 2016  اعمل سبسكرايب واستمع لاخر الاخبار انظم معنا على تواصل الاجتماعي https://www.youtube.com/c/hussienahmm. Aug 10, 2016  I installed MySQL Community 5.7.13 and MySQL Workbench 6.3.7 on a Mac. Install is complete and services are started. I may have had a older install on the same Mac. I don't believe I supplied a password for root during the install. Problem is I can't connect in Workbench since I don't know the root password. An alternative to using the mysqladmin command when setting the MySQL or MariaDB root password the first time is to use the mysqlsecureinstallation command. This command will not only ask for the old- and new MySQL root password but will also do some other security settings like disabling the test database. Here is how to use that command.

This tutorial explains how you can set, change and reset (if you've forgotten the password) MySQL or MariaDB root passwords. Time and again I see problems like mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'. So I thought it's time to remind you how to solve MySQL related password problems. If you are just looking for a quick fix how to reset a MySQL root password you can find that at the bottom of this tutorial. This tutorial is compatible with all major Linux Distributions incl. CentOS, Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu.

mysqladmin Command To Change Root Password

Method 1 - Set up a root password for the first time

If you have never set a root password for MySQL, the server does not require a password at all for connecting as root. To set up a root password for the first time, use the mysqladmin command at the shell prompt as follows:

If you want to change (or update) a root password to the new password 'newpass', then you need to use the following command:

If you get..

then follow the instructions below on how to recover your MySQL password.

The word 'password' in the above example is part of the command, do not replace that with your password. The word 'newpass' is the new password.

An alternative to using the mysqladmin command when setting the MySQL or MariaDB root password the first time is to use the mysql_secure_installation command. This command will not only ask for the old- and new MySQL root password but will also do some other security settings like disabling the test database.

Here is how to use that command:

Answer the questions as shown below:

The above answers are recommendations, you are free to choose other settings e.g. when you prefer to keep the test databases or need remote access for the root user. Note: you do not need remote access to use PHPMyAdmin remotely.

Change MySQL password for other users

To change a normal user password you need to type:

The variables in this example are:

  • user-name: The username of the user that you want to change the password for.
  • newpass: The new password

The word 'password' is not a variable, so do not replace it. The command will ask for the old password.

Method 2 - Update or change password

MySQL stores usernames and passwords in the user table inside the MySQL database. You can directly update a password using the following method to update or change passwords:

1) Login to the MySQL server, type the following command at the shell prompt:

2) Use the mysql database (type commands at the mysql> prompt):

3) Change password for a user:

This method you need to use while using PHP or Perl scripting.

Recover MySQL root password

You can recover a MySQL database server password with the following five easy steps:

Step # 1: Stop the MySQL server process.

Step # 2: Start the MySQL (mysqld) server/daemon process with the --skip-grant-tables option so that it will not prompt for a password.

Step # 3: Connect to the MySQL server as the root user.

Step # 4: Set a new root password.

Step # 5: Exit and restart the MySQL server.

Here are the commands you need to type for each step (log in as the root user):

Step # 1: Stop the MySQL service:

I installed MySQL Community 5.7.13 and MySQL Workbench 6.3.7 on a Mac. Install is complete and services are started. I may have had a older install on the same Mac. I don't believe I supplied a password for root during the install. Problem is I can't connect in Workbench since I don't know the root password. I've tried some commands in Terminal to reset password, but I can't get connect in Terminal either. I would like to either completely uninstall and start over or figure out how to supply a new root password.
