Changing MySQL Password
I am trying to learn MySQL and I don't have a clue what my username and password is. I am on win98.
I had installed MySQL awhile back and tried re-installing it, but it skips the password / username part.
I assume there must be a file I can change in notepad.

Changing Password As User
I get an "ERROR 1133 (42000): Can't find any matching row in the user table " when I try to change my own password as a logged in user. According to the manual it should be SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('newpass'); is this due to the wildcards in my allowed host? Or is the syntax different from what is in the manual? My server version is 4.1.14, client programms seems unimportant, the error stays the same with matching mysql commandline client, perl DBI or mysql querybrowser.

Fails Changing Root Password
I have MySQL 5 up and running on a FreeBSD 6.3 host to which I connect with SSH. I'd like to change the MySQL root password, but it fails: # mysqladmin -u root -p oldpassword newpassword Enter password: mysqladmin: Unknown command: 'oldpassword' Is this due to some security measure, or maybe something specific to the MySQL available in the FreeBSD Ports collection that could explain this?

Mysql Password() & Unix Crypt Password...
I am creating a user administration system where system administrator can activate services for a user, like webspace, a mail account or a subdomain. I now want to create a function that creates mysql databases and grant the right privileges to a user. But the problem is that mysql wants to have the plaintext password for the user in the "grant ... identified by 'pwd'" field, or in a manual query to update the password in the mysql.user table with PASSWORD('pwd'). I have another database which holds the passwords for the users, these password are stored the moment a user signs up and are used to activate services, for example ssh access to the machine. The stored passwords are encrypted using crypt(). So for adding a ssh service to a user, I simply do echo "$user:$pwdhash" | chpasswd -e. I have chosen crypt because some programs (like proftpd) don't take md5 sums. The problems is that I don't have the plaintext password. So I cannot add a mysql db. So I need to create a user in mysql with a crypt password. I tried to just "grant all privileges ... identified by 'nothing'" and then afterwards update the mysql.user table and putt the crypt password in there but it doesn't work like that. Does anyone have any idea on how I could fix this, how can I create a user in mysql without having his plaintext password and only having a crypt hash of it. I thought about not only storing a crypt hash, but also an md5 hash and a mysql PASSWORD() hash.. but I think that's an ugly solution.

Changing Existing Mysql Account Usernames
The situation I have is, I have an existing MySQL user account, lets say its called "myacct". What I want to do is change "myacct" to "testacct", leaving all the account privileges intact. From looking at the database I thought I would be able to accomplish this by issuing UPDATE commands on mysql.db, mysql.tables_priv, and mysql.user to change all occurrences of "myacct" to "testacct" but this gives me some weird problems when I try to access the database using "testacct".

MySQL PASSWORD()
I have a field in my db that I assign a password() function so that when it is sent in from a browser form, i do "select userID, name, password from users where userID=$userID and password=password($password)"... this is just an example, but wondering what mysql uses to encrypt it.would it be better off to just use php's mcrypt or crypt myself? would that be more secure?

Got Locked Out Of Mysql. Won't Take My Password
Running MySQL5/PHP5/Apache2 on Windows XP Pro. I setup my root password yesterday: mysql>UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD("new password") WHERE User="root"; Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.12 sec) Rows matched: 3 Changed: 3 Warnings: 0 mysql>FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.24 sec) Then, I was successfully able to logon to mysql as root. Today, when I rebooted the computer and tried to logon: mysql -h localhost -u root -p I got the following: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I verified that mysqld-nt.exe was running as a process. I suppose I could have done the steps incorrectly(as a newbie) but is there an easy way to proceed.
