Changing User and Password in MySQL

Changing or updating user credentials in MySQL involves a simple process. Follow these steps to change the user and password in MySQL:

1. Log in to your MySQL server as the root user.
2. Open the MySQL command line interface.
3. Enter the following command to change the password for an existing user:
   ALTER USER 'username'@'hostname' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';
4. Replace 'username' with the name of the user you want to change, 'hostname' with the host from which the user can connect, and 'new_password' with the desired new password.
5. Once the command is executed successfully, the user's password will be updated.

Remember to grant appropriate privileges to the user after changing the password if necessary.
