centos 7 mysql 修改root密码,在Centos7上更改mysql root密码

I have installed mySQL on a Centos7 vm but I have problems logging in with root. I tried logging in without password or tried any default ones (like mysql, admin etc) I looked in the my.cnf file and there's no password. I tried changing the password by stopping the service and restarting it with mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables & but I get that mysqld_safe:command not found

I have no idea what else to do. Any tips/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

What version of mySQL are you using? I''m using 5.7.10 and had the same problem with logging on as root

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.

I have no answer to setting up the root password during installation, but here's what you do to reset the root password

Edit the initial root password on install can be found by running

grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log

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)

The user table structure has changed.

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.

1. Stop mysql:

systemctl stop mysqld

2. Set the mySQL environment option

systemctl set-environment MYSQLD_OPTS="--skip-grant-tables"

3. Start mysql usig the options you just set

systemctl start mysqld

4. Login as root

mysql -u root

5. Update the root user password with these mysql commands

mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string = PASSWORD('MyNewPassword')

-> WHERE User = 'root' AND Host = 'localhost';

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

mysql> quit

6. Stop mysql

systemctl stop mysqld

7. Unset the mySQL envitroment option so it starts normally next time

systemctl unset-environment MYSQLD_OPTS

8. Start mysql normally:

systemctl start mysqld

Try to login using your new password:

7. mysql -u root -p

Reference

Note

As of MySQL 5.7.6, for MySQL installation using an RPM

distribution, server startup and shutdown is managed by systemd on

several Linux platforms. On these platforms, mysqld_safe is no longer

installed because it is unnecessary. For more information, see Section

2.5.10, “Managing MySQL Server with systemd”.

Which takes you to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-management-using-systemd.html where it mentions the systemctl set-environment MYSQLD_OPTS= towards the bottom of the page.
