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.

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) .

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.

Root Password Change Does Not Work
I am facing a funny situation. All of a sudden my root password to the mysql server version 3.23.49 stopped working. I reset the password and tried logging in again, but what ever I do, I am unable to login as root. If I skip grant tables, I am able to, but not otherwise.

Restart MySQL Service After Root Password Change
I installed mySQL on a Win2k machine and tried to change the root password, which didn't seem to work. I changed it this way: c:>mysql mysql> use mysql mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD('test') where user='root'; mysql> exit and then tried to login this way: c:>mysql -u root -p password: test which didn't work. Then, after many unsuccessful attempts, I restarted the service and suddenly the password I had set worked. Then I realized that (at least for the root password) I needed to restart the mySQL service everytime I changed the root password, otherwise it would not become effective. Is this by design??? Am I doing something wrong?

Delete /Change Localhost For Root In User Table
I have updated my Host-Information for root in the users table - and guess what happened - I can't login with root anymore. What is more - I took as update address something like http://serverbla.com. So guess what, I can't login because of the protocol information. Since I have a webshop installed on the machine I would like to reset only this information. Is there any chance to do that without crashing the webshop?

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.

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.

Root User Denied Access To Fetch User List.
I can still log onto MySQL administrator or the command line program but I somehow appear to have lost all priveliges to alter or view the user list from this account. Even under the command line interface I can login but it tells me access is denied when I try to alter "root" permissions on a database. I cannot seem to log onto any of the other accounts created but obviously if I could get into the user admin I could solve this.

Deleted Root User From 'user' Database!
I so stupidly deleted the root user from my mysql > user database. Now I can't login to mysql. I uninstalled the rpm and reinstalled it but it still won't let me setup a new root user. How can I delete the mysql data files so that I start again, fresh? Where are these files located? I can't find them anywhere after removing the RPM but they are obviously there because upon reinstalling the RPM I'm still in the same position--I try to do mysqladmin -u root password 'password' but it says "Access denied for user root@localhost"

Access Denied For User: 'user@172.22.0.1' (Using Password: YES)
I am currently running two servers one with Tomcat and the other with MySQL. They are both in different Windows domains and on different network segments. I have the following users on the MySQL server: user@localhost user@% I am getting a VERRRY SLOOOW connection between the two machines so I thought I'd add a user just for the Tomcat server. The IP address of the Tomcat server is 172.22.0.1 so naturally the user would be 'user@172.22.0.1' When I added this user I got the following error Access denied for user: 'user@172.22.0.1' (Using password: YES) Any ideas on what I can do to remedy the situation?

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?

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.

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
