Linux下忘记mysql密码

Linux下忘记mysql密码

本想登录mysql数库， 突然记不得mysql下root用户的密码了。
下面是处理过程
1：关闭mysql（一定不要用kill -9 pid或pkill mysql之类的命令， 用这种命令尽管会强制关闭数据库， 但使得数据库有很多的碎片，容易使得数据crash（我图方便就用了两次，尽管我知道不能用pkill，数据库就crash了。最好用service mysql stop关闭它）
2：测试是否真正关闭
3：开启mysql用--skip-grant-tables 项，即可不提示输入密码
4：mysql -u root -p 通过空密码进入mysql，
5：选择mysql库下的user表，修改root用户对应当密码
6：flush privileges 刷新缓冲区
7：退出mysql，重新登陆测试(此时密码已经生效,不需要重启mysql）
以下是我的处理过程！

[root@localhost ~]# service mysql stop   ##究竟是mysql还是mysqld要看你在/etc/rc.d/init.d下到底是mysql还是mysqld
[root@localhost ~]# netstat -antl | grep 3306
[root@localhost ~]# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --user=mysql &
[1] 3701
