Re: How to change root password?
None, of these suggestions worked...
Tried the following ways to reset the password:
(1) Shut down MySQL via System Preferences pane
(2) Placed the following in a text file:
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('') WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
(3 Invoked the following command from the command line in Bash:
mysqld_safe --init-file=/Users/raven/mysql-init
[1] 2236
Received these errors:

Re: How to change root password?
Make sure your mysql server is not accessible to anyone else, its a good
idea to disconnect all network connections because the server will be
totally insecure for a short period of time!
Start your MySQL server with the --SKIP-GRANT-TABLES option.
At a shell prompt type
mysql -uroot
(you may have to add -h and -p options to the command above if you are
using a non-standard host or port). You should get a mysql prompt, at
the mysql prompt type
USE mysql;
Followed by
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Then type
UPDATE user set password = password('new_pass')
where user='root';
Replacing new_pass with your desired password.
Now type
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
and restart the server without --SKIP-GRANT-TABLES

Re: How to change root password - getting error
Hello.
Worst case, do I just uninstall and reinstall mysql?
Don't panic :)
My opinion: this situation looks similar to the example described
at:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Connection_access.html
May be you have several entries at user table. Can you login using your old
password? If no, run mysqld_safe with --skip-grant-tables command line option
(with this option everybody can connect to your server so be careful).
What output does the following statement produce:
use mysql;
select user,host from user where user='root';
You can restore your root password using such statement:
set password for user 'root'@'your_host'=password('great password');
Than restart server as usual (without --skip-grant-tables).
I am trying to change my root password for mysql 4.1.7 running on Linux (as
I forgot it) using the docs found at:
HYPERLINK
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Resetting_permissions.htmlhttp://dev.mys
ql.com/doc/mysql/en/Resetting_permissions.html
When I get to the step:
shell mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges password newpwd
I get the error:
mysqladmin: unable to change password; error: 'Can't find any matching row
in the user table'
think my user table is screwed up but how can I get in to fix it???
Worst case, do I just uninstall and reinstall mysql?
Thanks,
Don

Do you have access to the MySQL default client?
If so, log in and use the following:
SET PASSWORD FOR user@host = PASSWORD('newpassword');

According to one of our readers, the new MacOS X contains another
Satanic holdover from the 'BSD Unix' OS mentioned above; to open up
certain locked files one has to run a program much like the DOS
prompt in Microsoft Windows and type in a secret code: 'chmod 666'.

Something like that:
UPDATE TABLE user SET password=password('new_password')
WHERE user='root' AND host='host';
