Then when attempting to reset the password I received an error, but googling elsewhere suggested I could simply forge ahead. I used the advice of Kevin Jones above with the following -skip-networking change for slightly better security: sudo systemctl set-environment MYSQLD_OPTS="-skip-grant-tables ~]$ mysql -u root The password reset commands are at the bottom of Start by logging into MySQL as the root user and switch to the mysql database. Which takes you to where it mentions the systemctl set-environment MYSQLD_OPTS= towards the bottom of the page. Open a terminal on your machine and follow the steps below. For more information, see SectionĢ.5.10, “Managing MySQL Server with systemd”. On these platforms, mysqld_safe is no longer Sudo systemctl unset-environment MYSQLD_OPTSĪs of MySQL 5.7.6, for MySQL installation using an RPMĭistribution, server startup and shutdown is managed by systemd on mysql -u root -p The system presents the MySQL prompt. Enter your current password to complete the login. The -p flag makes MySQL prompt for a password. It specifies the root user with the -u flag. Unset the mySQL envitroment option so it starts normally next time Step 1: Access the MySQL Server Open a terminal to access the MySQL server from the command line using the following command. Mysql> ALTER USER IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass' ħ. > WHERE User = 'root' AND Host = 'localhost' Īs mentioned my shokulei in the comments, for 5.7.6 and later, you should use If you can get into MySQL when using the command: mysql -u root. Mysql> UPDATE er SET authentication_string = PASSWORD('MyNewPassword') Update the root user password with these mysql commands Start mysql usig the options you just setĥ. Sudo systemctl set-environment MYSQLD_OPTS="-skip-grant-tables"ģ. So to reset the root password, you still start mySQL with -skip-grant-tables options and update the user table, but how you do it has changed. Systemd is now used to look after mySQL instead of mysqld_safe (which is why you get the -bash: mysqld_safe: command not found error - it's not installed) I have no answer to setting up the root password during installation, but here's what you do to reset the root passwordĮdit the initial root password on install can be found by running grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log There is 2 issues - why can't I log in as root to start with, and why can I not use 'mysqld_safe` to start mySQL to reset the root password. Run the following commands if you run MySQL 5.7.6 and later or MariaDB 10.1.20 and later. What version of mySQL are you using? I''m using 5.7.10 and had the same problem with logging on as root
