Several methods to crack the mysql root password:
Method 1
Use phpmyadmin, which is the simplest. modify the user table of the mysql database, but do not forget to use the PASSWORD function.
Method 2
Use mysqladmin, which is a special case stated above.
Mysqladmin-u root-p password mypasswd
After entering this command, you need to enter the original root password, and then the root password will be changed to mypasswd.
Change the root in the command to your username, and you can change your password.
Of course, if your mysqladmin cannot connect to mysql server, or you cannot execute mysqladmin, this method is invalid, and mysqladmin cannot clear the password.
The following methods are used at the mysql prompt and must have the root permission of mysql:
Method 3
Mysql> Insert INTO mysql. user (Host, User, Password)
VALUES ('%', 'Jeffrey ', PASSWORD ('biscuit '));
Mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES
Specifically, this is adding a user with the username jeffrey and password biscuit.
This example is provided in mysql Chinese Reference Manual:
Be sure to use the PASSWORD function, and then use flush privileges.
Method 4
Similar to method Sany, but the REPLACE statement is used.
Mysql> replace into mysql. user (Host, User, Password)
VALUES ('%', 'Jeffrey ', PASSWORD ('biscuit '));
Mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES
