root密码忘记，重置mysql的root密码：

一、修改mysql的配置文件my.cnf

1.在[mysqld]的段中加上一句：skip-grant-tables

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
skip-name-resolve
skip-grant-tables
保存并且退出vi。

（或执行 mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &）

2.重新启动mysqld
# /etc/init.d/mysqld restart
Stopping MySQL: [ OK ]
Starting MySQL: [ OK ]


3.登录并修改MySQL的root密码
# /usr/bin/mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 3 to server version: 3.23.56
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> use mysql ;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password = password ( 'new-password' ) WHERE User = 'root' ;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 2 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0

mysql> flush privileges ;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> quit
Bye
4.将MySQL的登录设置修改回来
# vi /etc/my.cnf
将刚才在[mysqld]的段中加上的skip-grant-tables删除
保存并且退出vi。

5．重新启动mysqld
# /etc/init.d/mysqld restart
Stopping MySQL: [ OK ]
Starting MySQL: [ OK ]


二、

停止mysql服务

/etc/init.d/mysqld stop

sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-table&

mysql

use mysql;

update user set password = password('yourpasswd') where user = 'root';

flush privileges;

重启下mysql服务即可重新用新密码登录

/etc/init.d/mysqld restart


允许远程连接mysql

通过navicat连接MySQL的时候发生的这个错误
ERROR 1130: Host ***.***.***.*** is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
说明所连接的用户帐号没有远程连接的权限，只能在本机(localhost)登录。
需更改 MySQL 数据库里的 user表里的 host项
把localhost改称%

一、

登陆到MySQL ，首先 use MySQL；
按照别人提供的方式update的时候，出现错误。
MySQL> update user set host='%' where user = 'root';
ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry '%-root' for key 'PRIMARY'
然后查看了下数据库的host信息如下：
MySQL> select host from user where user = 'root';
+-----------------------+
| host |
+-----------------------+
| % |
| 127.0.0.1 |
| localhost.localdomain |
+-----------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
host已经有了%这个值，所以直接运行命令：

MySQL>flush privileges;


二、

mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to 'root'@'%' withgrant option;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)


mysql> flush privileges;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)


mysql> selectuser.host from user;

+-----------+--------------+

| user| host|

+-----------+--------------+

| root| %|

| root| 127.0.0.1|

| repl_user | 192.168.1.52 |

+-----------+--------------+

3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

允许指定IP访问mysql

mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to 'root'@***.***.***.****  identified by '123456';
QueryOK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
