-restart MySQL

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

用mysqld_safe --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking启动mysql 然后进去给root把密码加上

mysql> update mysql.user set password=PASSWORD('这里改成你的密码') where User='root';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> quit

然后在重启mysql 用新设的密码访问

mysql启动后未开启3306端口

原因有二。
一是mysql服务未启动，需要在/etc/rc.conf中启用mysql，具体的参数在启动脚本中。一般的是在/etc/rc.conf中增加一行mysql_enable="YES"
二是mysql的默认设置不打开3306端口。可找到配置文件，我想是在/usr/local/etc/my.conf， 注释掉以skip-network开头的那一行。重启mysql服务即可。
