"MySQL" embarrassing, MySQL forgot user password

Ubuntu (12.04) installed in the MySQL, forgot to record the user name password, do not want to reinstall, there is a method of resetting the password?

A friend of the park has given a solution to the MySQL 5.6.23 to verify that there is no problem.

The details are hard to poke here!

1. End the currently running MySQL process.
#/etc/init.d/mysql Stop

2. Run in MySQL Safe mode and skip permission verification.
#/usr/bin/mysqld_safe--skip-grant-tables

3. Re-open a terminal to log in to MySQL as root.
# mysql-u Root

4, modify the root user password.
mysql> use MySQL;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
Can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with-a

Database changed
mysql> Update user Set Password = Password (' root ') where user = ' root ';
Query OK, 3 Rows Affected (0.00 sec)
Rows Matched:3 Changed:3 warnings:0

Mysql> exit

5. End MySQL Safe mode and run MySQL in normal mode.
#/etc/init.d/mysql Restart

6. Try your newly modified password

Mysql> show grants for ' root ' @ ' 127.0.0.1 ';

mysql> flush Privileges;
Mysql> quit

PS: For the sixth step to do point description:

After modifying the login password, you need to use "flush privileges" to refresh the system permission related tables, otherwise the direct login will still prompt the wrong password.

After modifying the data of the user and privilege tables in the MySQL library, use this command to "not restart the MySQL service".
