How to Change Root Password of MySQL or MariaDB in Linux
|
|||
|
============================================================
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you’re [installing MySQL or MariaDB in Linux][1] for the first time, chances are you will be executing mysql_secure_installation script to secure your MySQL installation with basic settings.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
One of these settings is, database root password – which you must keep secret and use only when it is required. If you need to change it (for example, when a database administrator changes roles – or is laid off!).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
**Suggested Read:** [Recover MySQL or MariaDB Root Password in Linux][2]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This article will come in handy. We will explain how to change a root password of MySQL or MariaDB database server in Linux.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Although we will use a MariaDB server in this article, the instructions should work for MySQL as well.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Change MySQL or MariaDB Root Password
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You know the root password and want to reset it, in this case, let’s make sure MariaDB is running:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
------------- CentOS/RHEL 7 and Fedora 22+ -------------
|
|||
|
# systemctl is-active mariadb
|
|||
|
------------- CentOS/RHEL 6 and Fedora -------------
|
|||
|
# /etc/init.d/mysqld status
|
|||
|
```
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If the above command does not return the word `active` as output or its stopped, you will need to start the database service before proceeding:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
------------- CentOS/RHEL 7 and Fedora 22+ -------------
|
|||
|
# systemctl start mariadb
|
|||
|
------------- CentOS/RHEL 6 and Fedora -------------
|
|||
|
# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Next, we will login to the database server as root:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
# mysql -u root -p
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For compatibility across versions, we will use the following statement to update the user table in the mysql database. Note that you need to replace `YourPasswordHere` with the new password you have chosen for root.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
MariaDB [(none)]> USE mysql;
|
|||
|
MariaDB [(none)]> UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD('YourPasswordHere') WHERE User='root' AND Host = 'localhost';
|
|||
|
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To validate, exit your current MariaDB session by typing.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
MariaDB [(none)]> exit;
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
and then press Enter. You should now be able to connect to the server using the new password.

|||
