MySQL password issue
Hi All, Today I ran into an interesting problem with my MySQL installation. I'll start off with the usual suspects: this is my development laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit this is a fresh install, fully updated from Windows Update. I downloaded the Windows Installer version of MySQL which is MySQL 5.5.28 Community Server. I ran the setup choosing Developer install, made a root password, then created two users for Backup and Replication. The install completed successfully, and I was able to start MySQL Workbench logging in as root once. I made a user in Server Administration and then imported a .sql backup file. I then went to SQL Development to review the result of the restore. I wasn't able to view the imported tables, Workbench seemed stuck on Retrieving Tables. This database is driving a website I'm working on, and I was able to load the site in a browser on my laptop - again once. Next, I went to add another user, and then tried to import another .sql backup file. This time, when I clicked Start Import, Workbench prompted me to enter my root password again. Odd I thought, as I'd originally told Workbench to save the password in its vault. Unfortunately, Workbench won't accept the root password. I receive the following message in a popup window: Cannot Connect to Database Server Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' from your host to server at localhost:3306: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) The MySQL Service is still running, I've tried stopping, starting, and just restarting the service. I've tried rebooting. All with the same result. What could have happened to this install to make MySQL no longer accept my password? I have already tried uninstalling via the MySQL Installer, confirming that C:\ProgramData\MySQL was removed, and then shutting Windows down completely before trying to re-install. The same result happens - I'm able to log in once, then several minutes later it will no longer accept a password. This is a fresh install again, so there's not a lot of pain in uninstalling and reinstalling. Any thoughts on why this is happening, or more importantly, how to correct the problem? TIA, -Tim
RE: MySQL password issue
Hi Tim, It looks like your '.sql backup file' has changed the password for root user and why it is persisting is perhaps you have data directory outside the install directory. How you correct the problem: Stop the service, start the service with option '--skip-grant-tables', login with root user and change the password from inside mysql. Hope that helps. -Original Message- From: Tim Thorburn [mailto:webmas...@athydro.com] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 12:08 PM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: MySQL password issue Hi All, Today I ran into an interesting problem with my MySQL installation.

Re: MySQL password issue
Not sure how the .sql backup file would have done that, but it seems to be working now. I'll just step away slowly and carry on. Thanks for the help!

Re: Fwd: ODBC MySQL Password as plain text
Don Thanks for your response. The issue I have is that the password for our database is stored either in the ODBC registry or within our ASP page as plain text. One option I have is to encrypt the password in the database connnection string and have a function with a key in a external file that can unlock it. The problem remains though - that if the web server is hacked, the hacker can still navigation there way to the file containing the key to unlock the password. Does that make any sense ?

And I gather that you want the file to access the DB without the user having to supply a password. I'll just guess that asp files are similar to php files. One thing you could do is have that file read the password from another file that is in some place where the web server does not look. Secure the access to the ASP-source file.

Hi Jay, This was my thought. Maybe encrypt the pasword in the DNSless connection and have a key somewhere within a external file. However if someone found the key in this file they could still access it. Any other thoughts on how to overcome this ?

Re: MySQL Password
Hi there, Restart the mysql server with option --skip-grant-tables. You can then login without password. And then you reset your password with the update command like this: UPDATE user SET password='' WHERE user='root'; Restart the server again. Set a new password with mysqladmin like this: mysqladmin -u root password xxx mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges (xxx is your new password) That should be it. Mysql has a nice manual by the way where it is all described detailed, comes in very handy to have such a print close, just in case ;-) Best regards Nils Valentin Tokyo/Japan 2003 7 2 14:28harsh : You can set password again using root and mysqladmin command.try mysqladmin --help. correct me if i m wrong regards --- --- harsh http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~harsh --- --- On Wed, 2 Jul 2003, Deependra b.

Re: Decrypt MYSQL Password
Hi, You can make your own authentification system.A table which can have a binary char/varchar field for encrypted password(effect similar like password from mysql.user) and another char for ASCII password. If you not use grant statement for adding new user, you can use the MySQL authentification system and you can make relation between this table and mysql.user using encrypted password like foreign key.

Re: mysql password ( )
Hi,
The password() function is a one way encoder. In other words it just
generates some kind of checksum of the input parameter.
So you cannot decrypt them, but it is much safer than encrypting and
decrypting strings, because even the attacker cannot decrypt them. :-)
You can use it this way for example:
Let's say my password is: abcdef
Password('abcdef') - 0bc7a0b7062090d5 (You must store this checksum in the
database.)
When you want to check if the password entered by the user is correct, you
need to do this:
The password entered by the user: abcdeg
You call the password function:
Password('abcdeg') - 0bc7a2b806208ed6
Compare the stored checksum and this one: NOT EQUAL - entered password is bad
Notice that if there is only a small difference between the right and the
entered words the checksum will be different in many aspects. That's why it
is quite safe.
But you can get better protecting if you use the MD5 function. It works the
same way than the password function, but generates 32 character long
checksum instead of 16.

Re: mysql password ( )
Securest? Yes, maybe. But first of all the security of a web site does not
depend on the password encoding system (PASSWORD or MD5) you use in the
MySQL database. (I mean firewalls, good OS, so on.)

Subject: Re: mysql password ( )
Hi,
The password() function is a one way encoder. In other words it just
generates some kind of checksum of the input parameter.
So you cannot decrypt them, but it is much safer than encrypting and
decrypting strings, because even the attacker cannot decrypt them. :-)
You can use it this way for example:
Let's say my password is: abcdef
Password('abcdef') - 0bc7a0b7062090d5 (You must store this checksum in
the
database.)
When you want to check if the password entered by the user is correct, you
need to do this:
The password entered by the user: abcdeg
You call the password function:
Password('abcdeg') - 0bc7a2b806208ed6
Compare the stored checksum and this one: NOT EQUAL - entered password is
bad
Notice that if there is only a small difference between the right and the
entered words the checksum will be different in many aspects. That's why
it
is quite safe.
But you can get better protecting if you use the MD5 function. It works
the
same way than the password function, but generates 32 character long
checksum instead of 16.
At 10:47 2002.08.28._ -0600, you wrote:

Is there a better way to protect passwords in the db and then decrypt
them
if needed ?

Re: mysql password file
Hi, If I understood your message right, the answer is no. The only place passwords are stored is the mysql database, so they're physically located in the mysql.MYD file. They're encrypted there, too.

mysql password
Hi,
I have a table with username and password. The password is encrypted using
mySQL's password function. But when I try to perform a match using PHP,
e.g.,
$query = select count(*) from auth
where usrname='$logname' and usrpass=password('$logpass');
$result = mysql_query($query) or exit (Cannot run query.);
$count = mysql_result($result, 0, 0);
if ($count 0)
{
echo Success;
die();
}
else
{
echo Unsuccess;
die();
}
I always get Unsuccess. It seems password() does not give the same result.
Would someone please point out what I am doing wrong here?
Regards,
Norman

MySQL PASSWORD function
Hi all, I can't find a description of the algorithm used in the mySQL PASSWROD function. I understand it's a hashing algorithm of some kind, but I don't know which algorithm (and I suspect it's *not* MD5.) Can anyone tell me what algorithm PASSWORD uses? The reason I ask is that we're trying to implement role-based security using our existing MySQL table of users, accessed via Java Servlet auth functions, which can read the User table through JDBC.

Just have mysql do it:
select (PASSWORD('thepassword') = password) from user where user='theuser';
will return 1 if 'theuser's password is 'thepassword', and 0 otherwise.

I think mysql uses the system crypt() function. This is, no-doubt, available through some well hidden Java class. Just do man crypt to learn about crypt().

How about using the PASSWORD function directly?
SELECT PASSWORD('thepassword'), Password
FROM user
WHERE User='username';
-- if they match, the unencrypted password matches.
Alternatively,
SELECT PASSWORD('thepassword')=Password
FROM user
WHERE User='username';
will return 1 on a match, 0 on non-match (watch out for
nonexisting usernames).

Lost mySQL password on Cobalt Qube 3
Hello all, Recently I made an attempt at setting up phpMyAdmin to allow my colleagues to interface with mySQL easily. In doing so I set a password for the root user, and placed the settings in my config file. When a new version of phpMyAdmin was released, I upgraded without backing up my old configuration file. Now, I can't seem to remember my password. I have tried to shut down the mySQL server, and also tried to kill the process, but my server does not show mySQL running in the processes list. This is even when logged in as root. The only way I can connect to mySQL is using the command mysql -u -p, which allows me to connect, but not to manipulate anything or stop the service. If anyone has any ideas as to what I should do to recover my lost password, or reset it, please let me know. As some of you may know, cobalt servers are slightly different than regular unix servers, and their support is less than first class. Thanks again for your help.

when you first install mysql server does it assign a default password becuase it tells me to enter these in to make a password for my server, but I don't know what the heck to do with them, but when I try them it says access denied /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h Precious -p password 'new-password' Dave - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

RE: installing mysql(password??)
Go to http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/o/Connecting.html and also read through http://www.fsai.fh-trier.de/system/doku/MySQL/manual_Privilege_system.html#C onnecting In the Linux source download there is also a script to reset the user and password, which was root and no password.
