修改mysql登录密码--解决能登录linux却不知道mysql密码

   遇到了烂尾机器的时候，能登录linux却不能登录mysql:

 mysql -u root
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

 mysql -u root -p

error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'

此时，如果 MySQL 正在运行，首先杀之： killall -TERM mysqld

然后直接启动/usr/bin/mysqld_safe  --skip-grant-tables &

此时就可以直接输入mysql登录了，

$ mysql

再次执行killall -TERM mysqld

然后启动 service mysql start

之后 mysql -uroot -p 使用 root就能登录了。

登录之后又报了个错误：

mysql> use mysql
ERROR 1820 (HY000): You must SET PASSWORD before executing this statement

，执行SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('root');后，正常

mysql> SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('root');
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.19 sec)
