Usernames And Password In User Table
I had multiple rows in 'User' table in mysql DB.
namely
% root <no password>
localhost root <no password>
% <null> <null> //anonymous user
Now i want to connect to the server through my application.
I deleted anonymous user, and entry for % root
and set password for localhost root.
Then i created a normal user
'% testuser testpwd' with all the previliges.
So that if i want to connect to the server from any other machine than server, i have to use 'testuser' account. In my application i am connecting to server using 'testuser'.

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.

Retrieving User Password?
I created a mysql DB and I can't recall the password that I used for the main user. Something has come up and I need to retrieve the PW I created for the user, is this possible? If so, how do I do this from cpanel?
Setting User Password
I am having a problem getting mysql to recognize my user password. Currently I am doing everything on 'localhost' [CASE] My root password works; I have access and can create databases as root. I used MySql Administrator to create a user 'bill' and gave that user a password (billpw) different from root and applied most of the global privileges including 'CREATE'. I can open mysql with root and rootpw. As well, I can open mysql with user 'bill' and rootpw but NOT with billpw. [bill@CASE ~]$ mysql -u bill -p Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'bill'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Even when I open Mysql with bill rootpw, I get the following: mysql> CREATE DATABASE menagerie; ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'menagerie' I can CREATE the DATABASE as root. I have read Section 5.7, “The MySQL Access Privilege System†and nothing seems to apply -- but that could just be newbie ignorance. Do I have some Linux permission problem related to MySql or have I done something wrong when creating my user ? How can I check for the error?

DB User/password Issues
I've looked on google and searched through these forum pages for issues similar to mine only to find no answer to people who have posed a similar question so I'm hoping I catch someone who can help me with this one. My MySQL will only allow me to connect to my DBs through the web if and only if my user password is set to blank. When using MySQL Administrator, I can have my root password set and log into that just fine but when I try to use root -> pw in say my phpmyadmin script, I get access denied errors. BUT, when i change my root password to blank (testing purposes only), the page loads just fine. The same results occur when i create a test user, the test username can only connect if the password is blank. If one is set, I get those access denied errors.
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.

User Password Corrupted
Every now and then one of my users passwords gets corrupted in the database and I have no Idea why this happens. When the user registers I store the password like so: encode($user_password,$encryption_key) I use decode when they log in to verify and match. Like I said every now and then their password gets turned into garbage characters. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Can't Change Anonymous User Password

C:mysql50in>mysqlshow -u root -p
Can I Set Database User Password When No Root Pw Is Set
I have installed PHPBB MediaWiki and SugarCRM on Ubuntu Server LAMP. I initially tried to set the root password on install and then could not log back in. After reinstall this is what I did for a new non root user. root@invest:~# mysql -V mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.38, for pc-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2 grant CREATE,INSERT,DELETE,UPDATE,SELECT on pauldb.* to paul@localhost; set password for paul = password('mysecretpassword'); flush privileges; exit; Then when i go to login with this user I can't. I have not set a password for root because the same thing happened when I tried to set root pw immediately after install of the database. This time I am trying to work out the access issue with a new user i have created. This way I still have access since and I won't have to reinstall the db.

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?
Change Your User Name And Password For MySQL
I only know and have access to a password to access MySQL. So how do we know what our user name is or how do we change our user name and password for MySQL once we have and know this information?
Change The Root User Password
I have just set a password for the root user for logging into MySQL which all works fine by typing: mysql -u root -p A prompt appears asking me for my password which I enter and the usual welcome message appears.I initally set my root user password by typing at command line: mysqladmin -u root password "new password" ("new password" being the password I chose) This all worked ok. However I would like to know how to I change the password for the root user, and how would I also change the password for users that I set up (I assume it would be a similar way)? I am currently running all on my local machine (hence no need to use "-h" anywhere in the login procedure) and running on windows 2000.
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?
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?
Change User Password In Stored Procedure
I want to give my database users the ability to change their passwords. I have set up the access to be allowed from localhost and any host (%) so I tried to set up a SP like this: CREATE PROCEDURE `mydb`.`ChangePwd` (IN p VARCHAR(45)) BEGIN SET PASSWORD FOR 'userx'@'localhost' = PASSWORD(p); SET PASSWORD FOR 'userx'@'%' = PASSWORD(p); END But MySql always gives my an error 1064 saying that theres an error witn my syntax near (p). Any ideas? I now that "set password for..." works for users that want to change their password for localhost access, but not for the entry 'username'@'%' so I want to use an SP that runs with root privileges.
Access Denied For User 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using Password: NO)
I am having a problem connecting to mysql from php. Here is my code: <html><body> <? mysql_pconnect("localhost", "root", "password"); mysql_select_db("lead"); $query = "select * from products"; $res = mysql_query($query); if($res === false){ print "Error: $query<br>" . mysql_error() .

What needs to be downgraded, and to what version? Mysql 4.1.5, Apache2, Win 2000, php 5.0.1.

Access Denied For User 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using Password: NO)
i have installed MySQL for the first time in my computer. Before MySQL, first i installed MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51 (mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-win32.zip) and then i installed MySQL 5.0 (mysql-5.0.16-win32.zip). I configured MySQL with your Instance Configuratin Wizard like this; i choosed 'Standart Configuration' then i checked 'Install as Windows Service' and my service name is MySQL also i checked 'Include Bin Directory in Windows PATH' and i didn't check "Modify Security Settings" left root password section empty and finally execute.

Error: 'Access Denied For User: 'root@localhost' (Using Password: NO)'
I've installed MySQL 4.0.26 on OSX 10.3.9 client version using the standard darwin 7.9.0 PKG. Installation seemed to go fine but I can only access Mysql with urs/local/mysql/bin/mysql test To my knowledge I never sent a root or user password. When I come to try and set a password or create a database I am asked for my password. When I try and enter it the imput is frozen and the only keystroke that will work is 'enter' then I get a error message that tells me that it is the incorrect password. I have tried all of the different login and password reset commands I can find but to no avail.
First Time Install On Windows - Admin User&password Problem
I have a problem with logging in to MySQL. Access denied. I think the issue is with the host, user and password settings. I assumed you had to add this information to the my.ini before you started the service for the first time. Is this only for WinMySQLAdmin? Is there a default? I have tried all the solutions I could find but they seem to all require user privileges in the first place. I simply need to have one main admin user and password and to refresh their values to be certain of the new settings in case there was one before.

I try to run this command and get the error for testing it: "C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.0inmysqlshow" Response is the subject title.

JOINs And UserNames...
i need a bit of help on the following problem. Table I Row_i. 1 2 _ Row_ii. 3 1 6 ... Row_j. 9 _ _ The numbers in each row identify users (User_A, User_B, User_C); not all rows have all three users filled in - in the example above, the first row has two users, the second three, and the last only one. Table II Row_i. 1 Fred Bloggs Row_ii. 2 John Smith Row_iii. 3 Pat Brown ... Row_j. 6 Tom Adams ... Row_k. 9 Vicky Brown ... Row_l. n Name Surname I can thus identify each user (if present) in Table I. So far, so good. Now for the problem. I need to generate a list of ALL the names used in Table I, either as User_A, User_B, or User_C, without repetitions, ordered by Surname. Given the example above, the output should be 6. Tom Adams 1. Fred Bloggs 3. Pat Brown 9. Vicky Brown 2. John Smith Simple, right?... But I guess the old brain is just not cooperating today, because I can't seem to get my query right. Any simple and elegant solutions out there? Many thaks in anticipation for your help.

MySQL Databases And Usernames
Let's say I make a database called "bri" and then username "site1" Can I use the same database, but create a new username "site2" for a different site? Like, say I installed Wordpress on "site1" and vBulletin on "site2"... does that work? I've always just created a new database, but I've been wondering about this.
Hide Mysql Usernames And Passwords
I'm trying to have people access a secure mysql database. If they get to a certain webpage, they have clearance to access the database, and we have one password and one username (that the users do not know). Does anyone know how to have it so the people cannot see the cgi script to access the database?
Mod_auth_mysql Or Mysql Usernames And Passwords
I'm writing a web app that needs a login page. I'm doing the dev on a windows box although the final version will go on a Linux box. I can't find any versions of mod_auth_Mysql precompiled for windows and have no idea about compiling c.source on windows (or anything to do it with). Is there a good reason I shouldn't store hashed password in MySQL and call them from Python scripts instead of using the apache auth module directly?
Changing Usernames On Lots Of Tables
I have a database intensive web site and we allow people to change their usernames. When someone changes their username, over 32 queries have to be made in order to change their username to the new one, because there's tons of tables. Everytime we add more tables that number only continues to grow. So we decided to use account id's (primary key) instead, replacing the usernames, and using JOINS to grab the username each time it's needed for display. Eventually, to change someones username, only one query would needed. Now TONS of CPU is being used due to all the joins. All indexes are in place and types are always const, ref, and/or eq_ref. What would be the best solution to this problem? Would subqueries be better?
Find Last Logins And ´JOIN´ Their Usernames
I want to be able to list the last logged in members. I have a ´member´ table and a ´login table´. The members have a unique ID (´id´, int; 11) in the ´member´ table. This unique member ID is inserted to the table ´login´, everytime the member is logging in to the site. In the ´login´ table the field name for the members unique ID is ´userid´(´userid´, int; 11). A new record is created/inserted for each and every login. I can't get my SQL statement to work =( I need to ´group´ to only show one member, but the SQL statement isn't working =( I have tried this: SELECT * FROM login INNER JOIN member ON login.userid=member.id WHERE member.image != 'missing.gif' GROUP BY login.userid ORDER BY login.id DESC LIMIT 8;
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".
ERROR 1045: Access Denied For User: '"root"@localhost' (Using Password: YES)
I have been working on this for three days (about 16 hours) to no avail. I have root access on a dedicated server running whm/cpanel on Redhat 9. I have followed every instruction from mysql.com as well as every suggestion I've been able to find. These are the two errors I bounce between: ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '"root"@localhost' (Using password: YES) and ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) I'm out of ideas.

Relating User Table With Content Table
I have a mysql table with the curriculum vitae (CV) information of about 50 researchers. I would like each researcher to be able to edit and update his/her information. In order to do this I need to create a membership system for the researchers to access their respective CV page. Before I do anything I want to plan this out, hopefully with a little help of more experienced developers and programmers. So I am open to any ideas. This is the thing that stumps me the most right now: Right now I have a CV table (with all the curriuculum vitae information) and need to create a users table that will somehow link with the CV table. Eventually, what I would like is with a login and password (that they choose) they will automatically open their CV page. These are the questions I have: What fields in the user table should I use to link the user table with the CV table? Once that is established, how, by providing their login and password can I direct them to their own page to update? Should one of the fields in one of the tables contain the (already existing) address of their CV page?
