Three easy-to-use solutions for modifying the root password of MySQL

The following article describes how to modify the root password of MySQL, however, if you are not very clear about the specific operation scheme, you can get a basic understanding of it through the following articles.

Method 1: use the set password command

 
 

  
  
mysql -u root  
  
  
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ‘root’@'localhost’ = PASSWORD(’newpass’); 
 
 

Method 2: Use mysqladmin

mysql> use mysql;  
  
  
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password = PASSWORD(’newpass’) WHERE user = ‘root’;  
  
  
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Mysqld_safe-skip-grant-tables &
  
  
Mysql-u root mysql
  
  
Mysql> UPDATE user SET password = PASSWORD ("new password") WHERE user = 'root ';
  
  
Mysql> flush privileges;
