不停止MySQL服务的情况下修改root的密码
二、不重启mysqld的方法
1、首先得有一个可以拥有修改权限的mysql数据库账号,当前的mysql实例账号(较低权限的账号,比如可以修改test数据库)或者其他相同版本实例的账号。把data/mysql目录下面的user表相关的文件复制到data/test目录下面。
[root@localhost mysql]# cp mysql/user.* cacti/
[root@localhost mysql]# chown mysql.mysql cacti/user.*
2、使用另一个较低权限的账号链接数据库,设置test数据库中的user存储的密码数据。
[root@localhost mysql]# mysql -ucacti -pcacti

3、把修改后的user.MYD和user.MYI复制到mysql目录下,记得备份之前的文件。
mv mysql/user.MYD mysql/user.MYD.bak
mv mysql/user.MYI mysql/user.MYI.bak
cp test/user.MY* mysql/
chown mysql.mysql mysql/user.*
4、查找mysql进程号,并且发送SIGHUP信号,重新加载权限表。
[root@localhost mysql]# pgrep -n mysql
2184
[root@localhost mysql]#
[root@localhost mysql]# kill -SIGHUP 2184
5、登陆测试
[root@localhost mysql]# mysql -uroot -pkongzhong123
