User Cant Change Own Password
to change a password a user would need update privileges
on an entire column, so she could change anyones password. [on a particular table]
Am I right?
so mySQL users cant change their own passwords, they have to plead with the admin...

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

Change/Create User Permissions
I have a remote db that I want to backup to my local MySQL server (windows). I can do a dump of the db from phpMyAdmin on the remote server. I try running it on my local server through the MySQL Control Center, and it says "Read Only". I don't have to enter password for root@localhost to login to the Control Center. I assume I don't have permissions to run DDL scripts as this user, and I can't figure out how to change this users permissions or create a new user with different privileges.

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?

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.

Like I said every now and then their password gets turned into garbage characters. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

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.

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?

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 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?
