I Changed Root Password But I Can Not Login With Changed Password
I changed the password of root with
update user set password=password('newpassword')
Then I exited. But when I want to login again , it cannot authenticate the root
I should tell you that a hacker had changed my root password before. Because it was not encrypted before.

Mysql Appears To Have Changed The 'password' Function Hashing
I've been using Mysql for about 6 months but in fairly basic fashion. For a cms I have built, I have a users table, with userName and password fields. An admin can create new users, and the password is hashed using the PASSWORD() function. SQL: "INSERT INTO users VALUES ('', '$userName', PASSWORD('$userPwd')) Straight out of the book basically. Now the problem is that all this has been functioning fine on a couple of sites on external servers, plus a couple of local machines. Until today, on my main dev machine - yesterday a user could log in, today they couldn't. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed. But when I look at the hashes in the database table, they are 41 chrs, and when I add a new user, the hash is 16 characters. I know that at some stage the hash length was increased between mysql versions, but I have not updated the install (I run XAMPP for Windows 1.4.14, which appears to install php 5.0.4 and mysql 4.1.12) Is there any other reason that the hash length could change to 16? I'd like to know why this happened so that I'm prepared if it happens on the server (where it is not so easy to hack in and add new users that can log in again)

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.

Password Cannot Login
I had problems in one of my user's account, I used phpMyAdmin to edit this user and changed his password. Whatever I change his password, he just cannot login, even very simple password such as "1" can't do the work... When I remove the password, he can login normally. I have checked the password field on the mysql table which is long enough to hold the full encrypted password, although I noticed an asterisk * was put at the beginning of the encrypted password, which was not found on other accounts I had a similar problem before and then I noticed my "username" and "password" field is too short to hold the whole username information, I fixed it by increasing the field length. I don't know why that happens... Migration from non-unicode to unicode database perhaps? Or being hacked in?

Login / Password Encryption
i am trying to create a very simple login system. all it does it input user data including a password and then when logging it it compares user name and password entered to find the user id (if exists) and then says you are logged in if a result was found. my problem is no results are ever found. i have found that no matter what i do the password() function never returns the same value when im trying to select a user id with password=password('$inputedpassword') in the query to look up the user id. so basically when i register the password is turned into a mess with password(), but wheni log in and use the same password() on it, it gives me something different. BUT if i register under another user name and then use the same password, password() will give me the same mess (i checked this in the databse). so i dont know why password() wont do the same thing when im using it in the query in login.php so that i can compare the passwords correctly. the only way i've been able to get this to login is to not encrypt anything. i have tried using md5 but that is giving me this same problem too.

User Not Needing Password For Login?
I've seen this problem for a while now, but since at the time I only needed 1 MySQL user for development purposes it wasn't a problem. Now, it's problematic. Btw, I have MySQL 5.0.22 installed. I created a user using the following command (I've tried this way and using GRANT): INSERT INTO user VALUES('%','XXXX',PASSWORD('YYYYY'), 'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y', 'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y', '','','','',0,0,0,0); Now, I see that row in the mysql.user table. I see the encrypted password, BUT when I try to log in to mysql from the command prompt using the user that I just created... it NEVER needs the password (YYYYY) that I set it to in the INSERT. >> mysql -uXXXX ^ That command takes me straight to the mysql command prompt. I am wanting the command to have to be 'mysql -uXXXX -p'... and then prompt for the password. Am I missing something?

Can't Set Root Password
Not only is this my first atmysqlt at installing MySQL, I am also a Linux newbie which compounds my problem. Please be kind. When the issue cropped up in a fresh install of openSuSE, I tried it on CentOS and the same thing happened. When I issue the following, as Linux root: mysqladmin -u root password <new-root-password> I get the following: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' Something is not allowing a connection to the server. I have made sure the entiries in /etc/hosts are correct. I even added a search line in /etc/resolv.conf thinking some persnickitiness with the hostname might be the cause. It appears I was wrong on both accounts. Then is suspected permissions as the devil. Wrong again. I went so far as to chmod 777 every file associated with mysql to no avail. The line "(using password: NO)" in the error message also has me scratching my head. I am pretty sure it is something very simple that I am overlooking. Or, at least, I hope so. Anyone have any ideas that will maybe get this newbie's jitney back on the highway?

User Information Changed
The other day someone changed every user's password on my site. Then they changed every user's email address to theirs - I assume the reason was that when the user used the password reset function, they would never see the information. I'm trying to research what/where the vulnerability is in the script that I'm suing, but I don't really know where to start - not being a hacker, I don't even know the terms to search for here or on google. Is this what is meant by mysql injection?

Float(m,n) Changed Between Mysql 4.0 And 5.0?
I have a float(11,10) field (default NULL) in one of my MyISAM tables. With MySQL 4.0.16, I can call an Update/Insert query with a value of , say 33.166668 to this field, and it updates correctly. When I retrieve that value again with a select statement, I get something like 33.1666668392 (10 digits after decimal). Which is correct. (The sql_mode server variable is set to 0) With the same field in MySQL 5.0, my experience is different. With the server sql_mode set to one of the strict values( SQL_TRANS_STRICT), i get an error about out of range value for the float field. when I change the sql_mode to not have the SQL_TRANS_STRICT, I get the same error as a warning, 1264 "Out of range...". When I retrieve this value, it is set to 10.0000000000, which is wrong. But , when I change the field description to float(11,5) and do an update, the value is updated right, but I get an intermittent "No rows updated" error. Could anybody please explain if the float definitions changed between versions? Does float(m,n) now mean that I can have only (m-n) digits before decimal point?

Resetting The Root Password
Having a browse through Paul Dubois's book, MySQL (ISBN 0-7357-1212-3), I came across a section in which he describes how to reset the root password: 1. Shutdown the server by issuing a KILL under Unix or stopping the system service under Windows. 2. Restart the server with the --skip-grant-tables option which allows you to connect with no password and all privileges. 3. Reset the root password. Given that the person first has to have operating system root or administrator access to shutdown the server, wouldn't this qualify as a security hole in cases where the OS root doesn't own the database, for example, on shared machines.

Change Root Password
I have MySQL installed on my MacBook Pro, which I'm using to construct web sites, though I'm still very new to it. I used a pre-made installer package, which regrettably I can't find at the moment. Of late I wanted to get in some practice securing the thing, so my first order of business was to set a root password, since phpMyAdmin was warning me about that. Unfortunately my terminal window no longer recalls exactly what I did, but it resulted in the following error, though I thought I was following the instructions in the manual exactly for changing a password: mycomputer:/usr/local/mysql-5.0.41-osx10.4-i686 william$ sudo mysql ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) So then I followed the instructions here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html to reset the password. After restarting the server, I now get this: mycomputer:~ william$ sudo mysql -u root ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) .

Root Password Lost
I am an Oracle DBA and new to MySQL. I have to do some urgent work on MySQL but problem is that I have been assigned a user/password which does not have access to grants tables (mysql schema).

So, I am not able to connect to database from my Windows machine having GUI database client tools. The actual DBA of the system who had root password has gone and now nobody knows the mysql's root user password. I wanted my user to be able to connect remotely which requires changes in grant tables, but only root user can grant this priviledge. Can someone please help me? how can i get the priviledges that only root can grant? is there a way to know root password or, to reset root's password? plz help.

The mysql version is 4.0.21 if that matters. I installed mysqladmin and cant log in as root without password, i can log in as mysql without passowrd but not enough privelages.

How Do I Change The Root Password?
My MySQL program won't let me make new databases, and I suspect the reason is that I installed the thing using Terminal on Mac OSX, following various tutorials I found on the web. Not that the tuts were bad, but it's just I really had no idea what I was doing - just typing things in exactly as told and trying to guess when things weren't spelled out. Anyway, at some point in the process, I was supposedly supposed to set the root password for MySQL, but it never came up. So i went looking for tutorials on how to set it (most said you had to set it directly after installation), and tried it, but the thing wouldn't let me set it. There was some kind of error that had to do with permissions, like I wasn't allowed. Basically i think it wasn't letting me set the root password because I didn't know the root password. Which of course means I'm up the proverbial chocolate creek without a paddle. I tried to reinstall the thing, but the same issue came up. Wants the password that I never got the opportunity to set. I tried like five times, then just gave up and forgot about the whole thing and went to bed.

I am using the SQLyog GUI to manipulate my DB.I have a guest password stored in SQLyog and can access all of my databases.But I can't use SQLyog to change the password b/c it uses the new password alogorithm which is hashed to 32 characters opposed to 16 in the old alogorithm.I was wondering a way to reset my root password. I only have minimal privileges on this account such as SELECT. Just in case anyone missed it, I can't log into my MySQL command line client since I don't know my root password.I would normally use OLD_PASSWORD('password') from there.
