如何修改Linux服务器的MySQL数据库root密码

第一种方法：
/local/server/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password ‘new_password’
由于mysql安装的时候，默认没有root密码，安装时可用此方法设置root的密码。
[root@uc ~]# /local/server/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'zhcw123'
/local/server/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
[root@uc ~]#

第二种方法：
登录mysql数据库/local/server/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -pzhcw123
[root@uc ~]# /local/server/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -pzhcw123
