How can I reset my MySQL password?
This is a bit gnarly. If you have a better method of updating the password without triggering a warning about PASSWORD being deprecated, I'm all ears.
Stop MySQL
sudo service mysql stop
Make MySQL service directory.
sudo mkdir /var/run/mysqld
Give MySQL user permission to write to the service directory.
sudo chown mysql: /var/run/mysqld
Start MySQL manually, without permission checks or networking.
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &
Log in without a password.
mysql -uroot mysql
Update the password for the root user.
UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD'), plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root' AND Host='%';
EXIT;
Turn off MySQL.
sudo mysqladmin -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock shutdown
Start the MySQL service normally.
sudo service mysql start
start the mysql client process using this command
mysql -u root
from the mysql prompt execute this command to be able to change any password
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Then reset/update your password
SET PASSWORD FOR root@'localhost' = PASSWORD('password');
If you have a mysql root account that can connect from everywhere, you should also do:
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpwd') WHERE User='root';
Alternate Method:
USE mysql
UPDATE user SET Password = PASSWORD('newpwd')
WHERE Host = 'localhost' AND User = 'root';
And if you have a root account that can access from everywhere:
USE mysql
UPDATE user SET Password = PASSWORD('newpwd')
WHERE Host = '%' AND User = 'root';
For either method, once have received a message indicating a successful query (one or more rows affected), flush privileges:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
