How to Reset Password on MySQL?

Resetting MySQL Password

Resetting the MySQL password is a fairly straightforward process, but it requires access to the server where MySQL is running. Follow these steps to reset your MySQL password:

1. Stop the MySQL server process.
2. Start the MySQL server in safe mode, which allows you to bypass the grant tables and reset the root password.
3. Connect to the MySQL server using the newly reset root password.
4. Update the root password using SQL commands.
5. Restart the MySQL server normally.
6. Verify the new password by logging in with the updated credentials.

It's important to ensure database security by periodically changing passwords and following best practices for password management.
