Now you can log in to mysql without a password, meaning that you can update your root password to whatever you want. Then restart the mysqld again as normal to use the new password. -----Original Message----- From: Chuck [mailto:chuckeal at attbi.com] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 11:25 AM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: [TCLUG] Mysql Problems As I was setting up mysql server on a Red Hat 8.0 machine last night I believe that I miss typed the root mysqladmin password when I set it.
