经常会有朋友或者同事问起,MySQL 的 root 密码忘了,不知道改怎么办。
其实解决方法很简单,下面是详细的操作步骤。
(1)修改配置文件my.cnf,在配置文件[mysqld]下添加skip-grant-tables,重启MySQL服务即可免密码登录
其中--skip-grant-tables 选项前面曾经介绍过,意思是启动 MySQL 服务的时候跳过权限表认证。 启动后,连接到 MySQL 的 root 将不需要口令。
# SERVER SECTION
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# The following options will be read by the MySQL Server. Make sure that
# you have installed the server correctly (see above) so it reads this
# file.
#
[mysqld] skip-grant-tables
(2)用空密码的 root 用户连接到 MySQL,并且更改 root 口令:
[root@localhost mysql]# mysql -uroot
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is
Server version: 5.0.-community-log MySQL Community Edition (GPL)
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql>
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '123';
ERROR (HY000): The MySQL server is running with the --skip-grant-tables option so it cannot execute this statement
mysql> update user set authentication_string = NULL where user = 'root';
Query OK, row affected (0.00 sec)
上面是先用grant的方式修改root密码,但是由于使用了配置了skip-grant-tables 选项,使用“alter user”命令更改密码失败,直
接更新 user 表的 authentication_string字段后更改密码成功。
(3)到my.cnf 中删除skip-grant-tables选项,然后直接用mysql -uroot免密码登录后,在执行如下语句重设密码
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '';
