Password Seems To Reset
It seems that the password for the root user account becomes invalid after each reboot of my operating system (Windows XP) I have to skip the the grant tables and reset the password each time. I would like to know why this is occurring and what I can do to safeguard future lockouts. I have not been able to determine if it is being accessed by someone else who is changing the root password.

Reset Password
I get an error when trying to reset password. I start the db using: mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables & and reset the pwd using the mysqladmin command mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges password "newpwd" then I got the error message: mysqladmin: unable to change password; error: 'Can't find any matching row in the user table'

Reset Root Password
I have searched on several forums on how to reset the root password for MySQL. Keep in mind, I am NOT a SQL programmer at all. I have been taking a stab at getting a phpbb up and running. I did all of this on a desktop machine running apache, php, phpbb, & mysql. Now that the site is up and running, I want to move my database over to my server using phpadmin, but it requires that I know the root password. I typically use 2 different passwords, both of which I tried and can't get root access. I don't understand what happened. Can someone let me know what the exact commands are to reset the password? Yes I am a dummy when it comes to this

Reset Root Password Or?
I have inherited the job of updating our company's method of generating worksheets for employees. it uses .asp pages that pulls info from mysql to fill the pages. The problem is twofold, first i'm stupid on mysql and asp, but learning. second nobody knows the password for the mysql service and to make matters worse the server is continually used and i will have to stop ther service for some time to update the database. i guess first i need to be able to get in to mysql so if anybody can let me know in plain english what to do to reset or find the password that would be great, i tried the instructions in the manual with no results. of course it doesnt help with 60 people complaining that the server is down while i am trying to do it either. 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.

Reset Root Password (4.0.20)
I am running MySQL version 4.0.20 and I did the misstake to do a privileges settings change using MyPHPadmin. So, now I want to reset the master root password and then be able to login to my myPHPadmin site and reset all user privileges, fast and easy. I do the following to reset my root password: "mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --user=root &" Then I login as root with "mysql -u root" Once inside MySQL I write: "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('my_chosen_passwd') WHERE User='root'; I finish up with "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" and then "/quit" to quit MySQL. Then I try to re-login with: "mysql -u root -p" I enter my password and get the following; "ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)" .

Cause Of MySQL Auto_increment Reset?
We've got a site which was moved off of our servers and now is having problems on a monthly basis and the site owners are asking for our help. :P The server they moved the site to is a virtualized Linux server on an MS Windows server, using something like VMWare or similar to run the Linux environment in. The server is running with MySQL 4.1.20 on it. Originally when the database was imported the auto increment data on a critical table somehow didn't get set so since only a portion of their site is updated on a semi-monthly basis via MySQL, no one noticed for a couple of months that occassionally the wrong data popped up. The current month's data index was deleted each month and recreated with brand new data, but the index stayed the same. After the increment was reintroduced to the table, it somehow got reset to something far below the next auto_increment value in the table. I've been messing around under the mysql CLI and phpMyAdmin to atmysqlt to even set an auto_increment value below the current one and can't do it (even though it tells me success). I tried manually setting the auto increment, deleting, setting, then re-adding the auto_increment index, as well as other things but with data in the table, it never changes to anything other than what the auto_increment should be. Removing the data, changing the auto_increment index, then re-inserting the data is also a no-go in terms of messing up the auto_increment to be less than the indexed data values. I've never seen the auto_increment itself break in MySQL before although I've had to fix corrupt tables before. This only seems to happen after the virtual Linux server is restarted. According to another consultant this client uses: > Auto Increment is a MySQL table feature that picks the > next available index number to use. Recycling of unused index numbers is > a feature that has been removed from newer major releases. Having used MySQL since 3.x I've never heard of this "recycling" before. What can break the auto_increment like this? (corruption?)

How To Reset MySQL Database
I am a new user of "Yahoo Small Business" web hosting service and I changed a lot of settings in my "MySQL Database" using "phpMyAdmin" utility during my learning period. Now, I want to reset my Yahoo Small Business MySQL Database to default settings or to reinstall it (I want it to be the same as it was newly activated). As you can see, I can not control the server, so I have to do this only by scripts or commands. Please Note: I tried to repair my database with Yahoo's "Database Setup" page and the message "Database scheduled for repair" appeared for a few days but nothing happened. And, I can not login to my database using phpMyAdmin utility.

Strange Password Setting Behavior In Fedora Core 4 (server 4.1.11)
I have tried adding users aided by several references and this typifies the procedure: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/adding-users.html But, I found that after adding them, I could not use them to get into mysql. I found my way to this reference, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/access-denied.html and on a hunch, set the password to '', that is, no password at all and find that now I can use them to get in. What is going wrong here? Also, I am finding that I cannot get into my database from a remote host, even though I use the '%' variable or even more directly, the actual 'RemoteHost' name.

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.

How To Reset Next Autoindex
Need a hand figuring out how to reset the next autoindex value in MySQL v 4.1.21. I have a sessions table which gets a lot of inserts. The record id field is an autoincrement integer unsigned (nothing unusual there). Simply "DELETE from sessions WHERE expiry < CURRENT_TIME" does empty the table if all sessions have expired, but of course the auto index value is not reset. As a result, the value of the id is getting quite large. Now, I know I can simply "TRUNCATE sessions", however, to do this safely I need to single thread access to the sessions table, check that all sessions have expired, then perform the truncation. However, TRUNCATE will not work on a locked table. Code:

Reset Root PW
I am using Fedora 7 with mySQL 5. something... I accidentally messed up the root password when setting mySQL up and need help... I set the password to... well... i don't know what its set to... I have followed the following steps but have a few errors... I will put them at the end: 1. Log on to your system as either the Unix root user or as the same user that the mysqld server runs as. 2. Locate the .pid file that contains the server's process ID. The exact location and name of this file depend on your distribution, hostname, and configuration. Common locations are /var/lib/mysql/, /var/run/mysqld/, and /usr/local/mysql/data/. Generally, the filename has the extension of .pid and begins with either mysqld or your system's hostname. You can stop the MySQL server by sending a normal kill (not kill -9) to the mysqld process, using the pathname of the .pid file in the following command: Code:

How To Reset Last_insert_id();

The problem now is that if I have about 788 rows of valid data and deleted 200 rows of test data, my "next" id when I do "SELECT last_insert_id();" would not be 788. The id numbers continue to be large as if I didn't get rid of that junk data.

Mysqldump From Server To Server OR Move Folder /var/lib/mysql?
I need to move db's from a live server to a new server. The new server will be replacing the existing server once it's setup, and I need to move the DBs in order to do the testing. My question is this; if I use mysqldump to get a dump of all the DBs on the existing old server, and then import that .sql file to the new server, will that copy over *EVERYTHING* i need to get the DBs working again? Privilages etc ? The alternative that I am considering is to move the /var/lib/mysql folder along with mysql.cnf. That should work, as we can change any locations in the mysql.cnf file, but it does mean taking the server offline while we tar the databases, which could take 30 mins or so.

AUTO_INCREMENT Reset On DB Restart
I am working on webapp and multiple users can modify data in the same table. When database is empty and MYSQL is restarted AUTO_INCREMENT indexes do reset (I am using 4.026-debug). Scenario: User A enters some data in table and goes to lunch User B views data, decides to delete record (by auto-inc index), marks record on UI and goes for lunch. User A comes back and decides he was wrong with data entered. He cleans table and enters other data. Someone for some reason restarts MYSQL User B comes from lunch and clicks Delete (on already selected record)... Boom. Wrong record is deleted. What to do? The only thing I can think of is never keep the table empty. But this is insane.

How To Reset Auto_increment Without Truncating Table?
I log hits on a site that gets a descent amount of traffic. Each night, the hit data is aggregated from the day before into a separate table to keep things managable. Note that I do not truncate the table because I do not want to delete any hits I've accumulated since midnight. So, while the number of rows in the table reaches only a few thousand a day, the auto_increment keeps going up and could, theoretically, reach a max value within the site's lifetime. My next question is if there is a way to reset the auto_increment within the MySQL query syntax WITHOUT truncating the table or doing a manual manipulation.

Auto AUTO_INCREMENT Reset Behaviour
As you may already know MySQL does NOT auto reset the AUTO_INCREMENT value to be as low as possible when the highest record is deleted. You need to do an update explicitly, in hopes of lowering it. I've been playing around and found a setup where MySQL will auto set to the next lowest AI value after a record is deleted. Code:
