mariadb not starting after default password reset
I am new to Linux and I am playing with installing Bacula I got to the point of installing mariadb and wanted to change the default password and followed the following steps:
Stop the MySQL process
service mysqld stopOnce MySQL has stopped, restart it with the --skip-grant-tables option
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &Connect to MySQL using the root user.
mysql -u rootOnce logged in, you should see the following prompt:
mysql>mysql> use mysql;
- mysql> UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD("YOUR NEW PASSWORD HERE") WHERE User='root';
- mysql> UPDATE user SET plugin="";
- mysql> flush privileges;
- mysql> quit
Now stop MySQL again:
- service mysqld stop
This is where the problem is when I go to restart the service it times out and fails. Why? Help. I can restart the server and the service is started but the new password does not work.
Now restart MySQL and test your new login.
- service mysqld restart
- mysql -u root -p
mysql mariadb
