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

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

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(). Chris On Tue, 29 Jan 2002 10:59:55 -0500 John Kemp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I can't find a description of the algorithm

Some other details that might be of interest in this case: - it's not a good idea to type the password at the shell prompt (it's then in the command history) rather type mysqladmin -u USERNAME -p Mysql then asks you for a password with it's own prompt the same is for mysql client. - mysql
