Resetting MySQL root password not working
问题 I have spent many hours reading and trying dozens of variations of ways to reset the root password, but I am not getting anywhere. The most complete set of instructions I found (and tried) were the following. BTW, I am running MySQL 5.5 on Win7, 32 bit. I created a file, c:\mysqlinit.txt, containing the two lines: UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('myroot') WHERE User='root'; flush privileges; Stopped the MySQL55 Service from Control Panel, Admin Tools, Services Opened a Command prompt
