Can You Retrieve/restore A MySQL User Password ?
Subject: Can you retrieve/restore a MySQL user Password? I'm working on my own, local WXP, MySQL, version: 3.23.38-nt and I have the "root" password, and normally use the root account. I have forgotten one of the Passwords for a user account which I have set up. Is there any way to UnEncrypt the users password, so I can use that account again? Any handy function that the "root" account can use, to determine a user's password? OR Should I delete the account and start from scratch? OR Should I re-apply GRANT statements so as to reset user/pass info?

Retrieve Root Password
I have a dedicated server with 1&1 (really bad tech support) and they don't seem to want to give me the root user password. The server is running Fedora Core 2 - is there anyway I can retrieve the root password? I want to be able to set CRON jobs to do MySQL dumps for backups every now and then.

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.

Retrieve MySQL Data
Until recently I ran a php/apache mySQL wbsite on MacOSX. For some reason I can't get the machine working again so now the site is offline. I succeeded to copy the MySQL data from the Mac OX partition. However, this is the 'raw' data - not a SQLdump but the frm, myd and myi files for each table. The data is not of much use if I want to use it in a website again, I'd rather have a SQLdump. So now my question is: Can I just add these files in the data directory of another mySQL installation I setup locally under win2k and be able to make a dql dump?

MYSQL: Retrieve One Row With Data From JOINED Tables With Multiple Matching Rows
I'm not sure this is possible in one SQL query: I have a table called TB_EMAIL and another called TB_OTHER_BLOB. TB_EMAIL contains details like: to, from, subject, body and since I will be reusing headers and footers I aslo store header and footer reference to TB_OTHER_BLOB in TB_EMAIL. What I need is a row (given its id) with all columns (except the references to TB_OTHER_BLOB) from TB_EMAIL and two extra columns one being email_header and the other email_footer which are in two different rows in TB_OTHER_BLOB What I came up with is: Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

Insert And Retrieve BLOB Data Into MySQL Database, And Retrieving To Webpage
Fairly OK with the MySQL side (created database, and queried ok, getting the responses I want, etc!) Now have 2 photos i want to attach to each record in database table.(don't know if they should/can be part of the table, or just reference a path to location, given that this is a website, and will need to be updated quite a lot as I go) What I want is that, when a query is sent, the resulting records must pull the images with them , and display on results page.

Random Password Vs. User Created Password For Site Login
Are there any security issues or other concerns that make one preferable? The client is pushing for user created passwords. I'm mapping out the basic functionality and front-end for a MySQL/PHP back-end that will be completed by a third party. I'm a novice to MySQL but familiar with PHP and their interaction. Mainly looking for anything to support one method over the other.

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?

Cannot Set MySQL Password On My Mac
I had an old version of MySql on my Mac. I recently installed the latest version of MySql. I tried to set a password in terminal using the steps shown below, but I get the error message shown below. I don't remember the password for my previous MySQL installation. Welcome to Darwin! localhost:~ helpprob% alias mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql localhost:~ helpprob% mysql -u root -p Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) I have also tried: mysqladmin -password <new password> and the same command without the dash before "password." I have also tried searching the MySQL manual and have tried various things that I thought it was recommending, to no avail. In some variations of what I have tried, I get the same error message except the end reads, "password: YES)

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.

Mysql Service And Root Password (-w W)
I have a few qeustions for some linux/mysql pros in here. Background: I've just built MySQL on Mandrake Linux 9.1 from source. I can get the mysql service running my: shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql & but I don't know how to keep it running, or how to make it start at every bootup. How do I do that? Also, I've made an alias to mysql: alias=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql but it won't span sessions, I think I need to export it, but I'm not sure how to. Also, via mysqladmin I set the root password to "password" which I don't want to keep :) how do I got about changeing it now? I know I probably should have installed via RPM, but I'm wanting to learn as much as I can about all of this.

Mysql.user.password In Session
I have set up a few users in the mysql Privileges and with my php pages I have them log in with a form (login.php) to access the next page (mainpage1.php) that generates info from the mysql db.I know it is not really secure to just have the plain text password stored as a $_SESSION['pw'] as I have now. but how should I store it in a Session to be used in other pages without the user having to enter it in each time the page wants to go to the db? Or can we store the $Link in a session? or somehow have it remember that the user is connected?as if I sha1() the password how do I get it back into a format that mysql recognizes?What is the best way of doing this?

MySQL Password Hash Location
I'm running MySQL v.4.0 and and on my webserver and I have PHP Nuke installed. For the PHP Nuke system to run, it requires the db username and the db password. However, I can't use the text version of my db password, because my password actually gets hashed, and that's what is required by PHP Nuke. When I first installed the Nuke, I was able to locate my password hash, but it's been so long that I actually have no clue as to where I was able to locate it. I would change the database user password back to what it was...if only I could remember what it was. So, reverting it back to it's previous password doesn't look like it's going to be an option. So, basically...all I need is to find out where in the heck I can locate the hash for my db user password

Setting Password For MySQL From WAMP?
A few months back I installed WAMP (one big installation of Apache, MySQL and PHP for Windows). The last week I'm busy with Portal development. As a result I'm trying to install Jetspeed-2. The installer of Jetspeed asked what Database I would like to use. As I installed WAMP I thought it wiser to stick to MySQL. When I started phpMyAdmin I saw the following message: "Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account." As it is some time since I installed WAMP I cannot remember what I need to do. I searched the install directory and found that the word password is contained in several .ini files (my-huge.ini, my-innodb-heavy-4G.ini, my-large.ini, my-medium.inim and my-small.ini, but not in my.ini). The format of the line is: #password= your_password I take it I need to remove the # at the start of the line, replace 'your_password' with a password of my choosing? But in what ini file? How does WAMP know what ini file to choose? In the same directory as the ini files I see a wampserver.conf file. In it there is an entry: $mysqlConf['mysqlConfFile'] = 'my.ini'; Does this entry make WAMP to choose for my.ini? I plan to use the WAMP/MySQL installation purely for development purposes.
