停止數據庫

如果是apt-get或yum安裝的mysql執行：

systemctl stop mysqld

修改my.cnf

利用vim命令打開mysql配置文件my.cnf，在mysqld進程配置文件中添加skip-grant-tables,添加完成後,執行wd保存。

vi /etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
skip-grant-tables

重啟數據庫

利用命令行工具重啟數據庫

systemctl start mysqld

修改root密碼

重啟數據庫後可以不用密碼直接回車登陸：

./mysql -p Enter password:

可以直接登陸進數據庫。

在mysql命令行下執行以下命令修改root密碼：

update mysql.user set password=password('newpassword') where user='root'

#將password()中的newpassword字符更改為你自己的密碼

mysql5.7及以上版本注意

當使用update user set passsword=password(“123456″) where user=”root”;修改root密碼時會提示如下錯誤：

ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'passsword' in 'field list'

這是因為在MySQL 5.7 password字段已從mysql.user表中刪除，新的字段名是“authenticalion_string”.

可使用use mysql; desc user;查看如下：

+------------------------+-----------------------------------+------+-----+-----------------------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +------------------------+-----------------------------------+------+-----+-----------------------+-------+ | Host | char(60) | NO | PRI | | | | User | char(32) | NO | PRI | | | | Select_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Insert_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Update_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Delete_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Create_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Drop_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Reload_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Shutdown_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Process_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | File_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Grant_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | References_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Index_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Alter_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Show_db_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Super_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Create_tmp_table_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Lock_tables_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Execute_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Repl_slave_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Repl_client_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Create_view_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Show_view_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Create_routine_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Alter_routine_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Create_user_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Event_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Trigger_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | Create_tablespace_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | ssl_type | enum('','ANY','X509','SPECIFIED') | NO | | | | | ssl_cipher | blob | NO | | NULL | | | x509_issuer | blob | NO | | NULL | | | x509_subject | blob | NO | | NULL | | | max_questions | int(11) unsigned | NO | | 0 | | | max_updates | int(11) unsigned | NO | | 0 | | | max_connections | int(11) unsigned | NO | | 0 | | | max_user_connections | int(11) unsigned | NO | | 0 | | | plugin | char(64) | NO | | mysql_native_password | | | authentication_string | text | YES | | NULL | | | password_expired | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | | password_last_changed | timestamp | YES | | NULL | | | password_lifetime | smallint(5) unsigned | YES | | NULL | | | account_locked | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | | +------------------------+-----------------------------------+------+-----+-----------------------+-------+ 45 rows in set (0.00 sec)

上面表中authentication_string的就是新的密碼字段。使用上面的字段就可以重置密碼 :

mysql> update user set authentication_string=password('123456') where user="root"; 
Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec) Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 1 
mysql> flush priviledges;
