  • How to change Mysql root password under linux ?

    How do I change MySQL root password under Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and UNIX like operating system over ssh / telnet session?


    mysqladmin command to change root password
    Setting up MySQL password is one of the essential tasks. By default root user is MySQL admin account user. Please note that the Linux / UNIX root account for your operating system and MySQL root are different. They are separate and nothing to do with each other. Sometime your may remove mysql root account and setup admin as mysql super user for security purpose.

    If you have never set a root password for MySQL server, the server does not require a password at all for connecting as root. To setup root password for first time, use mysqladmin command at shell prompt as follows:
    $ mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
    However, if you want to change (or update) a root password, then you need to use the following command:
    $ mysqladmin -u root -p'oldpassword' password newpass
    For example, If the old password is abc, you can set the new password to 123456, enter:

    $ mysqladmin -u root -p'abc' password '123456'

    Change MySQL password for other users

    To change a normal user password you need to type (let us assume you would like to change password for user vivek) the following command:
    $ mysqladmin -u vivek -p oldpassword password newpass

    Changing MySQL root user password using MySQL sql command

    This is another method. MySQL stores username and passwords in user table inside MySQL database. You can directly update password using the following method to update or change password for user vivek:

    1) Login to mysql server, type the following command at shell prompt:
    $ mysql -u root -p

    2) Use mysql database (type command at mysql> prompt):

    mysql> use mysql;

    3) Change password for user vivek, enter:

    mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD("NEWPASSWORD") where User='vivek';

    4) Finally, reload the privileges:

    mysql> flush privileges;
    mysql> quit

    The last method can be used with PHP, Python or Perl scripting mysql API.
