MySQL 忘记root密码，解决办法

今天遇到个破问题：用了N久的MySQL要新建数据库，竟然忘记了密码。 而这个问题居然也很常见！ 要修改MySQL的root密码，有两个先决条件： 有修改MySQL配置文件的权限 有重启MySQL服务的权限 先修改配置文件： 引用 # vim /etc/my.cnf [mysqld] datadir=/var/li

要修改MySQL的root密码，有两个先决条件：

• 有修改MySQL配置文件的权限
• 有重启MySQL服务的权限

先修改配置文件：
引用
# vim /etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1

# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks;
# to do so, uncomment this line:
# symbolic-links=0

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

在 [mysqld]下增加 skip-grant-tables，即跳过权限验证。

然后登录MySQL，修改root密码：
引用
# mysql

mysql> use mysql;

You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> update user SET Password = password('') where user='root';
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 3 Changed: 3 Warnings: 0

mysql> flush privileges ;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> quit
Bye


然后把刚才修改的配置文件再改回来，最后重启服务：
引用
# service mysqld restart
停止 MySQL： [确定]
启动 MySQL： [确定]


大功告成！

PS：更果断的办法：

关闭mysqld
命令行执行 mysqld --skip-grant-tables & 无密码登陆！
