MySQL root密码重置 报错：mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed的解决方案

===========================================================
二，忘记本地root的登录密码
解决过程：
1、编辑/mysql/my.ini
在[mysqld] 配置部分添加一行
skip-grant-tables
 
2、保存后重启mysql
[root@localhost etc]# service mysqld restart
Shutting down MySQL.                                       [  OK  ]
Starting MySQL.                                                   [  OK  ]

3、登录数据库重新设置root密码
[root@localhost ~]# mysql -u root -p mysql
Enter password:
直接回车进入

4、删除/etc/my.cnf文件中添加的“skip-grant-tables”行，重启mysql；
用新设的密码就能正常登录了；
