DB Server Password

Please follow these steps to rest the MySQL root password.

Troubleshooting MySQL Root Password

If the root user’s password isn’t showing up in the console, you can reset it by following these steps:

Step 1: Switch to Root User

Open your terminal and execute the following command to become the root user:

$ sudo su -

Step 2: View debian-sys-maint User and Password

Execute this command to display the Debian System Maintenance (debian-sys-maint) user and its password:

# cat /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
# Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH!
[client]
host     = localhost
user     = debian-sys-maint
password = **************
socket   = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysql_upgrade]
host     = localhost
user     = debian-sys-maint
password = **************
socket   = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

Note down the debian-sys-maint user’s password for use in the next step.

Step 3: Connect to the Local MySQL Server

Use the debian-sys-maint credentials to connect to your MySQL server:

# mysql -u debian-sys-maint -p
Enter password:

mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
mysql> exit
