Jul 23, 2009

I am an absolute Linux Beginner who is being required to do a bit of admin work because the boss just fired the old linux admin. Unfortunately, one of our employees cannot remember her password to her email account and as such I need to reset it on our linux server.What I want to check is that this email account is actually a linux user account and I simply will reset the password for it using the passwd command from the root login. Is that correct?

Ubuntu Servers :: Trying To Reset Mysql Root Password

Oct 14, 2010

I have forgotton my root password for mysql. I followed some instructions on a website and now I am not sure what i have done?Basically, when I now try and start mysql I get a notification that i have converted the init script to an upstart. I dont know what this means.

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, you may also use the start( utility, e.g. start mysql mysql start/running, process 20301.

Fedora Servers :: Reset SQL Root Password

Feb 4, 2010

I am trying to set up a webserver with apache, mysql and php on a old pentrium 4 computer. When I tried to setup my MySQL password, I created a password with punctuation in it. MySQL didn't want the password and gave some error about BASH. I tried changing my password again but now I constantly get the error that I am unable to login. I tried all the possibilities with the password I entered before but i just can't login to MySQL anymore. I found some help sites on how to reset your password by running MySQL in the safe mode but that didn't work for me. Can anyone help me resetting my password? Next time i'll use a pass without punctuation Every help is much appreciated! BTW, I also tried uninstalling MySQL with yum (yum remove mysql) and it uninstalled, but when I installed it again the password was still there

Ubuntu Servers :: Mysql Root Password Reset Hangs?

Jul 16, 2011

I forgot my root password for mysql, and after some searching I found several solutions to fix it. But none of them seem to work.I tried this article http://ubuntu.flowconsult.at/en/mysq...root-password/ with starting mysql with the --skip-grant-tables option. The problem is that nothing happens, it just hangs.Also tried the the --init-file option, that one runs fine, at least it returned to the command line. But the sql query in the file to which it point doesnt seem to do anything. The password wasn't changed to the one I specified in the sql file.Any idea what could be going on here, and how I could fix it?

Server :: How To Reset Root Password For Redhat Machine

Oct 25, 2010

Yesterday, when I was installing Redhat Enterprise 5.4 on a HP server, I asked myself "how can I regain my access to the server if I happen to forget the root password?" I knew there must be a way. I consulted with my friend "Google". I'd like to share it here as my 1st post (too bad that I'm not allowed to paste screenshots)

1) Boot up the server, when you are at the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server..." entry, press "e".
2) Highlight the "kernel /vmlinuz...." line then press "e" again.
3) Type the word "single" to the end of the line (with an empty space before the word single). Press Enter.
4) Press "b"
5) System will boot. When you get the prompt "#", type "passwd" to enter in new password for root.
6) Reboot the system. Done

CentOS 5 :: Recover / Reset Password For Root Via Single User Mode

Oct 20, 2009

Can someone assist me with recovering/resetting the password for Root via Single User Mode in CentOS v5? I've modified the kernel line using Single, S, and 1 but it appears that these commands are being totally ignored as the server continues with the boot process and displays the GUI logon screen. The server in question is a VM box running on ESX v3.5 U4. The person that created this VM is no longer employed here and I've exhausted everything I know regarding Single User Mode.

Fedora Security :: Reset The Root Password By Booting Into Single Usermode By Editing Grub

Apr 17, 2009

Being able to reset the root password by booting into single usermode by editing grub. This is a MAJOR flaw. I know it makes no real difference against internet bourne attacks, but even so I must say I found it shocking. The only way I've found to stop this is to encrypt the entire HDD, so noone could get into single user mode without first knowing the encryption key/password.

Ubuntu Installation :: Root Password For Software Installation?

Mar 19, 2010

I've recently had Ubuntu installed onto my Acer laptop after everything went haywire with it (a long story, which I won't bore you with). I've used ubuntu for about a year now, and never had this problem before:

I can install programs through the terminal, using sudo apt-get and my user password, but when I try to install anything through the Software Centre I get a message (see attached screenshot) asking for the root password for the 'superuser'. Now, I don't remember setting such a password, and if I did, I will have used on of my regular passwords (none of which work here). What's going on, and how can I solve the problem?
