就当作自己忘记Mysql密码把，忘记密码的解决方法

---

一、mysql登录错误
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
无法修改密码
用 service mysqld stop
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
输入 mysql -uroot -p 回车进入
>use mysql;
> update user set password=PASSWORD("newpass")where user="root";
更改密码为 newpassord
> flush privileges; 更新权限
> quit 退出
service mysqld restart
mysql -uroot -p新密码进入

===========================================================
二，忘记本地root的登录密码
解决过程：
1、编辑/etc/my.cnf
在[mysqld] 配置部分添加一行
skip-grant-tables

2、保存后重启mysql
[root@localhost etc]# service mysqld restart
Shutting down MySQL. [ OK ]
Starting MySQL. [ OK ]

3、登录数据库重新设置root密码
[root@localhost ~]# mysql -uroot -p mysql
Enter password:
直接回车进入

用新设的密码就能正常登录了；

=================================================

介绍一个非常有用的mysql启动参数—— --skip-grant-tables。 顾名思义，就是在启动mysql时不启动grant-tables，授权表。有什么用呢？当然是忘记管理员密码后有用。
操作方法：
1、杀掉原来进行着的mysql：
rcmysqld stop
或者：
service mysqld stop
或者：
kill -TERM mysqld
2、以命令行参数启动mysql：
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
3、修改管理员密码：
use mysql;
update user set password=password('yournewpasswordhere') where user='root';
flush privileges;
exit;
4、杀死mysql，重启mysql
