How to set MySQL root password?



How to set MySQL root password?


To set MySQL server root user password,

start the server, then issue the following commands:

# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'

# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h www.example.net password 'new-password'

Alternatively you can run:

# /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default.  This is
strongly recommended for production servers.
