Operating Systems Solaris How to reset forgotten mysql root password? Post 302887600 by hicksd8 on Sunday 9th of February 2014 09:45:48 AM

Perhaps I haven't made myself clear.

It's the MySQL database root password that I'm trying to change (not the password of the MySQL system user).

Yes, I can login to the system as root. I know how to change any user's password. I've told many a member on this forum how to boot from DVD and reset root passwords.

I know plenty about Solaris but I'm dumb on MySQL.

You will need to spell it out clearly as I'm no MySQL expert.

Thanks.
