How to change the password in MySQL? The following article brings four methods for beginners to change MySQL passwords. I hope it will be helpful to everyone!

Method 1: Use the set password command

(1) First log in to MySQL:

(2) Change the password format to:

##set password for username@localhost = password( 'New password'); Be sure not to forget the semicolon at the end, For example: we change the password to 123:

set password for root@localhost = password('123');

The following interface appears to indicate that the modification was successful :

Method 2: Use mysqladmin

Using mysqladmin, we do not need to log in first , but it needs to be the original password; we can modify it directly. The modified password format is:

mysqladmin -u username -p old password password new password , note that there is no - in front of password, For example: Let’s change the password to 123456:

mysqladmin -uroot -p123 password 123456

The following interface appears to indicate that the modification is successful

Method 3: Use update to directly edit the user table

use mysql # 连接权限数据库
update user set password=password('521') where user='root' and host='localhost'; # 改密码
