How to reset MySQL root password?

1 New Member
Guys,
I desperately need some help here. I have lost my root password and I am unable to login in. Every time on the CL prompt I am asked for a password and I obviuosly can't get through. I also tried removing the MySQL, manually deleting the entire directory, reg entries and every time I re-install it asks for the same password again and again that I unfortunately don't remember.

Even while configuring the MySQL server it keeps on referring to "Modify Root Password" with prompting for the older password.

I am a beginner at this and would appreciate some help.

Thanks a bunch in advance,

This is stupid I know. In my fumbling around with mySQL and phpMyAdmin an internet intruder has gone and set a password unknown to me. Incredibly, I was only online for 3 hours when this happened and I spotted it on a log. I replaced the mySQL folder and updated the version but I still can't log in. Will one of you Gurus tell me how to just dump everything and start over?

I find myself in a circular reference loop that I can't seem to resolve. I recently upgraded from MySQL 4.0.x to MySQL 4.1.21 on OS 10.3.9 Server.

After setting my master root password I then connected via phpMyAdmin 2.5.4 as...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
