Password :: Change Password
I have trixbox 1.2.3 running and in freePBX it told me I need to change the password in mysql. I went into mysqladmin and privileges. I updated the passwords for a2billinguser and root.
Now I am denied from access to mysql and all services that use mysql don't work. How do I restore the default that trixbox used. I have a very large major system here and cannot just blow it away.

Change Password
I am borderline about to throw my computer out the window....I have installed, removed, installed again, removed again mysql 5.0 on my brand new Fedora 5 core with little success. I am logged in as root, and can get mysqld to start, however when I attempt to change my password by the following: mysql -u root I get the following message: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Change Password Using .bat
First of all I am sorry if I am posting in a wrong section. Following are the steps to change MySQL root password using command prompt HTML Code: 1) cd C:mysqlin 2) mysql -u root -p mysql -h 127.0.0.1 3) (when prompting for password) we enter password 4) set password = password('new password') I was wondering if these steps can be done using a .bat file? If yes how? I have tried creating a .bat file with the above steps but it stucks at line when it prompts for the password. can I automate it as well?

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.

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.

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?

Mainly looking for anything to support one method over the other.

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.

Password Set Up
I am trying to install MySQL Essential 4.1. on Windows ME and it will not let me set up a password. I have installed it on Windows 2000 before and it took me through several dialog boxes setting up a password. On Windows ME it already seems to have set up a password and kicks me out when I try running MySQL. Do I need to be connected to the Internet when Installing? Is there a difference installing on Windows ME.

If I tried to connect from MySqlAdministrator or QueryBrowser I have the same issue if I write the password, and a good connect without password.

Password()
we just moved our websites over to another datacenter and in the process noticing that we are having troubles logging into some of our sites. Just as a quick test I manually updated a test user's password to password=password('hello') but the funny thing is when I try to login with hello, no record found. I echo the query and paste it into mysql and it shows empty results. SO I then queried for it to show me the record for this user and it shows the encrypted password to start with an * and then all characters are CAPS. No matter what I update the password to, this is the case. All alpha chars are caps and the pass starts off with an *. Has anyone run into this before? All of this worked before and our data looks ok in our tables but if you update the pass, it screws it up bad.

Recover A Password
Is there a way to recover a lost password in Mysql 4.1. I have seen many articles and howto's on how to kill the Mysql process and then restart using skip grant tables option. I am not trying to reset the password but rather recover it. Resetting the password to something else would cause a problem some of the underlying programs that rely on MySQL. I don't feel like changing code for every application that is using MySQL in my site. Also along similar lines. What if I were to kill the MySQL process and then reload with the skip grant tables option and login to the MySQL server. Could I create another account with root priviledges, such as admin, while not messing with the original root account or it's password. Lastly is there a way to copy just the grant tables information to another copy of MySQL so that I can experiment with this process on a non production box?

Mysqldump W/o Password
I have to run this to dump the database mysqldump -u root -pPASS --opt database > database.tmp Is there anyway I can hide the PASS is a file ? I was trying to put it in /root/.my.cnf as this [client] password = PASS That seems to be not working. I am not sure if mysqldump even reads that file. The only option worked for me is putting the password in a file /root/.pass and chmod it to 000 and then run this mysqldump -u root -p`cat /root/.pass` --opt database > database.tmp However I don't like this option because it tells you where the password is residing. I need to put this in cron so I don't like the option of showing the filename.

When I try to test a non-null password in the DSN configuration dialog for ODBC 3.51 I get the error message: "[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver] Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client" This sounds like a server configuration issue but the client (presumably the ODBC driver in this case?) is being blamed, apparently. I have tried this on both MyODBC 3.51 and 2.50, getting nowhere.
