![]() ![]() 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 Which takes you to where it mentions the systemctl set-environment MYSQLD_OPTS= towards the bottom of the page. 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 Towards this end, I took the following steps: I opened the terminal and typed in su - to run as root. Start by logging into MySQL as the root user and switch to the mysql database. Unset the mySQL envitroment option so it starts normally next time Open a terminal on your machine and follow the steps below. 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 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. The passwords aren’t shown in the terminal, so that they are not visible to any person that might be around the system. What version of mySQL are you using? I''m using 5.7.10 and had the same problem with logging on as root Just open up the command line, and type in: passwd This will open up a prompt asking for the current password, and then the new password, and its repeated confirmation. ![]()
