1. UPDATE User statement (This is the method I use)
This must be done first by logging in to MySQL with the root account and then executing:
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password = Password (' new password ') WHERE user = ' root ';
mysql> FLUSH privileges;
when you forget the root password, you can
take windows as an example:
1. Close the running MySQL service
2. Open the DOS window and go to the Mysql\bin directory
3. Enter Mysqld--skip-grant-tables carriage return. --skip-grant-tables means skipping permission table authentication when starting the MySQL service
4. Open a DOS window again (because the DOS window is no longer moving), go to the Mysql\bin directory
5. Enter MySQL return, if successful, a MySQL prompt will appear >
6. Connection rights database: use MySQL
7. Change Password: Update user set Password=password ("123456") where user= "root"; (don't forget the last semicolon!!!!! Have eaten a loss ... )
8. Refresh permissions (required steps): flush privileges; (with semicolons)
9. Quit quit.
10. Restart MySQL, enter the password to login!
2.SET PASSWORD Statement
This way you need to log in to MySQL with the root command and then execute:
SET PASSWORD for Root=password (' 123456 ');
