Mysql忘记root密码了怎么办（完整步骤）

前提，

能登录到mysql的这台Linux服务器 ；

已经忘记了mysql root密码，无法登录的情况下，

限于有权限修改mysql安装文件（此方法适用于linux ）

以Linux为例： 

1.编辑/etc/my.cnf配置文件，vim /etc/my.cnf

2.在[mysqld]下添加一行 skip-grant-tables，然后保存并退出

[mysqld]

#

# Remove leading # and set to the amount of RAM for the most important data

# cache in MySQL. Start at 70% of total RAM for dedicated server, else 10%.

# innodb_buffer_pool_size = 128M

#

# Remove leading # to turn on a very important data integrity option: logging

# changes to the binary log between backups.

# log_bin

#

# Remove leading # to set options mainly useful for reporting servers.

# The server defaults are faster for transactions and fast SELECTs.

# Adjust sizes as needed, experiment to find the optimal values.

# join_buffer_size = 128M

# sort_buffer_size = 2M

# read_rnd_buffer_size = 2M

datadir=/var/lib/mysql

socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks

symbolic-links=0

log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log

pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

skip-grant-tables      # IDO老徐注：新增这行

~                                                       

3.重启mysql服务：service mysqld restart

[root@isTester ~]# service mysqld restart

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart mysqld.service

[root@isTester ~]# 

4.更改root密码

重启以后，执行mysql命令进入mysql命令行（上面已经设置了跳过密码，不用输入密码）

[root@isTester ~]# mysql
