mysql userid password change

you would need...

$ mysqladmin -u root -p'oldpassword' password newpass

I'd say the easiest way would be to log into phpMyAdmin and update the values in the data.

Enter to WAMP mysql console and write:

CREATE USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;

to remove old user

DROP USER 'olduser'@'localhost';

If you are using WAMP on grahical interface, right click on the system tray WAMP and check MySQL section.

Yes it is possible.

Just run (example under windows):

• Win + r
• cmd in the run box, hit enter
• go to your wamp install dir and look for the mysql bin, eg. "cd C:\wamp\apps\phpMyAdmin-3.3.3"
• run: mysqladmin -uroot password NEWPASSWORD

and it's done.

Go to MySQL Console and then type this in the following prompt

mysql>update mysql.user SET password=password("newpass");

Press "Enter Key"

mysql>flush privileges;

Press "Enter Key"

Restart MySQL Service.
