mysql 忘记密码或者报 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'。
方法一：
# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
# mysqld_safe --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &
# mysql -u root mysql
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpassword') where USER='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit

# /etc/init.d/mysql restart
# mysql -uroot -p
Enter password: <输入新设的密码newpassword>

mysql>


方法二：
直接使用/etc/mysql/debian.cnf文件中[client]节提供的用户名和密码:
# mysql -udebian-sys-maint -p
Enter password: <输入[client]节的密码>
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpassword') where USER='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit

# mysql -uroot -p
Enter password: <输入新设的密码newpassword>
