3) Use UPDATE to directly edit the user table
First, log on to MySQL.
Mysql> use mysql;
Mysql> update user set password = password ('root') where user = 'root' and host = 'localhost ';
Mysql> flush privileges;
-- Be sure to flush privileges;
Mysql needs flush privileges to refresh the MySQL system permission table after setting a user or changing the password. Otherwise, access is denied. Another method is to restart the mysql server, to make the new settings take effect.
4) You can forget the root password.
Take windows as an example:
1. Disable the running MySQL service.
2. Open the DOS window and go to the mysql \ bin directory.
3. Enter mysqld -- skip-grant-tables and press Enter. -- Skip-grant-tables indicates that the permission table authentication is skipped when the MySQL service is started.
4. Open another DOS window (because the DOS window can no longer be moved) and go to the mysql \ bin directory.
5. Enter mysql and press Enter. If yes, the MySQL prompt> will appear.
6. Connect to the permission Database: use mysql ;.
6. Change the password: update user set password = password ('root123') where user = 'root'; (do not forget the last plus points ).
7. Refresh permission (required ):
Flush privileges;
8. Exit quit current cmd and close the DOS window in 2.
9. log on to the DOS window in Step 4 with the username root and new password root123.
