MySQL root password reset problem

Hello

As the title suggests, I forgot my MySQL root password (and where I wrote it down) and have done endless research (Google, MySQL site and forum, etc), tried the resolutions, but did not have luck by resetting the password.

I tried the instructions on the MySQL site, but when I did, I got this:

mysql_changerootpwd_cmd.gif

I tried to remove and restart the bodies, as well as uninstalling MySQL, by restarting and then reinstall; always without success.

I am running PHP (5.3.0) and MySQL (5.1.37) on Windows Vista.

I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thank you

Heather

The easiest way I know to deal with this situation on Windows is to uninstall MySQL. Doing so should leave intact in the data folder databases, although you might want to first copy the contents of the data folder to another location.

Inside the data folder is another folder called mysql. Remove and then reinstall MySQL. Then you should be able to put in place a new root password.

  • Password reset problem

    ORIGINAL TITLE: Problem with restore disc

    Win Home Premium 64-bit.

    The restore disc process seems to be asking me to insert my current restore disk, which obviouly I didn't so I need a new drive to restore in the first place.  Can someone help me by the window / this?

    Yes; you don't specify your question.

    It is called password reset; No restoration.

    And do you it before you lose or forget your password; not after the password is lost.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-password-reset-disk

    And Microsoft prohibited any assistance being given in these Forums to bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

    The problem nutrient to connect to the database?

    For you, this is the connection string, which I used at the top of the page. (obviuosly replace the XXXX with your own login details ie username, password and databasename liked if the server is something other than ' localhost; changing also.)

    # Connect

    mysql_connect ('localhost', 'XXXXX', 'XXXXXX') or die ("could not connect: '.") mysql_error());

    # Choose a database

  • How can I find the private forum that was set up for me about my hotmail password reset problem?

    You have found the information I sent to reset my password to be insufficient. I need to give you additional information you need, but the link you sent to your email address doesn't seem to take me anywhere where I can do.

    In addition, some of the information requested was for my credit card, but I'm using a free account and I guess I don't need to present this type of information. Is this correct?

    Hi Daniel,.

    I know not who talk you to or by what method (phone, online, email, chat,...), or how it started, but I strongly suspect that is NOT anyone of Hotmail and you should stop communicating with them and providing personal information any more than you already have and immediately delete all emails from them and who come in the future and do not go to all the links in the emails and do not open attachments to emails.  I'm almost certain it's a scam and an attempt to identity theft and possibly worse.

    Now let's awhile back and check something.  Did you password reset instructions below and receive the email them with a link to reset?  If so, this may be valid; However, if the link is not valid (or even if it is still perhaps not trust because he could easiily be redirected) and request information (enamel on their part is not ask for information but just give a link), especially as your credit card, then it is totally wrong and what I said above applies. In this case, I post on the forum and forget that normal reset method and get help directly from them where you KNOW who you're talking about.

    If they want to use the e-mail process (or need to because you have not provided no alternative), then ask you provide the link they will send (I guess they won't) or to include a way to check for certain that the email is from them given the circumstances - perhaps including a few special as coded message "this message is verified to support Hotmail with the code we agreed on Au93kgke9le ' or some thing like this and ask them to send you a private link response so you can send private code and not in the open air in the thread.

    To resolve this issue, go to http://windowslivehelp.com/product.aspx?productid=1 for support of Hotmail.  For assistance with your password, post your question in the following forum: http://windowslivehelp.com/forums.aspx?forumid=d3fda415-1e53-4007-8e0c-2a77180ffb1d.   Here is specific information on the password reset: http://windowslivehelp.com/solution.aspx?solutionid=bf5d34bf-db28-44ca-ac9a-93838d81b2d6 but be careful if the messaging process is used and do as shown above, or make them use another method (or offer a safe alternative).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Key to Windows 7 password reset problem

    I have created a key to reset Windows 7 password on a USB key according to the instructions. When I tested it, the computer he labeled as being in drive F, but he gave only the insert options in the G or H drive. The only way I could make it work was to use two players to jump. Then he would see the reset key in the drive I have and I would go forward. How can I fix?

  • Consequences of change root password

    We lost our root password for our two esx3.5 boxes and I have some questions that I hope someone can help me with, as I am a fairly new admin of VMware.

    I have instructions on how to change the root password (http://www.petri.co.il/vmware-esx-server-root-password-reset-recovery-lost.htm) which look good, but I'm not sure on a number of things:

    (1) what else will be affected if the root password is changed? We have vcentre, vmotion, vcb and possibly other utilities that I I know not. If I change the root password, one of these (or other applications common/standard) will affect and need to be changed to reflect the new password? In my view, it is not recommended to use root for something like this, but I don't know if it happens.

    (2) we have two hosts in the cluster. Do I have reason to assume that I can change the root on one host at a time or make different from eachother? Not that I'm likely to make them different, but my plan is everything to a single host, reset the password on the void and see how it goes. If everything continues to work I then move everything to this host and reset the password on the second host, term, threaten things back where they should be. I am likely to face a problem that do it this way?

    Any advice or comments appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.

    As written there is no consequence.

    This because the vCenter Server using the root connection only when guests first connects.

    Then he will add a new user (vpxa) and uses this user.

    I recently received a note of advice on tune on creating a password reset disk.

    This advice works perfectly on my desktop HPE-480uk running Windows 7, but doesn't seem to work on my computer laptop 15-e092ea Pavilion that has just been improved Windows 8.1 for Windows 10.

    Creating a password reset disk function is not in user accounts. It is not necessary with Windows 10 or are different instructions?

    The only way that it "protects" you (in terms of MS...) is that, if your forget the password, you can log into your account of MS from another PC and reset  Who is right for which you do not have a password reset disk.

    I left using this method of connection because I didn't like my email address is displayed on the login screen for all to see.  It's OK on my desk at home, but it was NOT OK on my laptop when I traveled with it.  So, I switched to using a local account.
