How to Reset MySQL or MariaDB Root Password in Linux
|
||
============================================================
|
||
|
||
If you are setting up a MySQL or MariaDB database server for the first time, chances are you will be running mysql_secure_installation soon afterwards to implement basic security settings.
|
||
|
||
One of these settings is the password for the database root account – which you must keep private and use only when strictly required. If you forget the password or need to reset it (for example, when a database administrator changes roles – or is laid off!).
|
||
|
||
**Suggested Read:** [Change MySQL or MariaDB Root Password][1]
|
||
|
||
This article will come in handy. We will explain how to reset or recover forgottent MySQL or MariaDB root password in Linux.
|
||
|
||
Although we will use a MariaDB server in this article, the instructions should work for MySQL as well.
|
||
|
||
### Recover MySQL or MariaDB root Password
|
||
|
||
To begin, stop the database service and check the service status, we should see the environment variable we set previously:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
------------- SystemD -------------
|
||
# systemctl stop mariadb
|
||
------------- SysVinit -------------
|
||
# /etc/init.d/mysqld stop
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Next, start the service with `--skip-grant-tables`:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
------------- SystemD -------------
|
||
# systemctl set-environment MYSQLD_OPTS="--skip-grant-tables"
|
||
# systemctl start mariadb
|
||
# systemctl status mariadb
|
||
------------- SysVinit -------------
|
||
# mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
|
||
```
|
||
[
|
||
|
||
][2]
|
||
|
||
Start MySQL/MariaDB with Skip Tables
|
||
|
||
This will allow you to connect to the database server as root without a password (you may need to switch to a different terminal to do so):
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
# mysql -u root
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
From then on, follow the steps outlined below.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
MariaDB [(none)]> USE mysql;
|
||
MariaDB [(none)]> UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD('YourNewPasswordHere') WHERE User='root' AND Host = 'localhost';
|
||
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Finally, stop the service, unset the environment variable and start the service once again:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
------------- SystemD -------------
|
||
# systemctl stop mariadb
|
||
# systemctl unset-environment MYSQLD_OPTS
|
||
# systemctl start mariadb
|
||
------------- SysVinit -------------
|
||
# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
|
||
# /etc/init.d/mysql start
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This will cause the previous changes to take effect, allowing you to connect to the database server using the new password.
|
||
|
