Hi friends,<br />
<br />
I fooled around with the user table in the mysql database. &nbsp;I ran the following command just for kicks:<br />
<br />
update user set password='boo';<br />
<br />
After I restarting my computer, I can no longer access mysql. &nbsp;The error message is<br />
<br />
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)<br />
<br />
FYI, before I fooled around with the user table, I was able to connect to MySQL via PHP with the username &quot;root&quot; and no password.<br />
<br />
Please kindly help me resolve this issue. &nbsp;I don't know where to start. &nbsp;I'm a Linux newbie. &nbsp;You folks are so awesome.<br />
<br />

I Can't Access MySQL Anymore - Please Help

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
