Recovering and Changing Your MySQL Root Password

Sometimes you may have to recover the MySQL root password because it was either forgotten or misplaced. The steps you need are:

1. Stop MySQL: as root


service mysqld stop


2.Start MySQL in Safe mode with the safe_mysqld command and tell it not to read the grant tables with all the MySQL database passwords:


safe_mysqld --skip-grant-tables &
[1] 4815
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql


3.Use the mysqladmin command to reset the root password. In this case, you are setting it to


thisisthepassword





mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges password "thisisthepassword"



4.Restart MySQL normally:


service mysqld restart
Stopping MySQL: 040517 09:39:38 mysqld ended
[ OK ]
Starting MySQL: [ OK ]
[1]+ Done safe_mysqld --skip-grant-tables



The MySQL root user will now be able to manage MySQL using this new password.
