MySQL > Administration > Commands > Setting Root Password

Databases

In MySQL you want to make sure you set your root user's password correctly.

Here's how you do that:


# SETTING THE MYSQL ROOT PASSWORD on your.server-address.com: whatever-your-password-is

/var/www/cgi-bin/vqadmin/vqadmin.htpasswd: whatever-your-password-is

/etc/apache/.htpasswd admin whatever-your-password-is


To update the apache htpasswd, do:

~/apache/.htpasswd username (it's interactive)


Cautionary Note: Make sure you secure your root password. If anyone unauthorized ever got ahold of it, they could destroy your whole MySQL server, or worse. Mistakes happen.

Tip: Keep your passwords safe, offline, and to yourself.
