I noticed today that I strangely was unable to login to MySQL as root. I just assumed I forgot the password and decided to reset my root password:
1 - /etc/init.d/mysqld stop 2 - mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables & 3 - mysql -u root 4 - mysql> use mysql; mysql> mysql> update user set password='letmein' where user='root'; Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.00 sec) Rows matched: 2 Changed: 2 Warnings: 0 mysql> flush privileges; mysql> quit 5 - /etc/init.d/mysqld restart *Now after I do all that, I get the following:* mysql -u root -p Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I have done this over and over and can't login so I am wondering if something is wrong with MySQL or am I just not properly resetting the password...
