Few methods of changing mysql user password
Method 1: Using ALTER USER (MySQL 5.7.6+)
ALTER USER 'username'@'hostname' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Method 2: Using SET PASSWORD
SET PASSWORD FOR 'username'@'hostname' = PASSWORD('new_password');
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
For MySQL 5.7.6+ you can also use:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'username'@'hostname' = 'new_password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Method 3: Using UPDATE (not recommended)
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD('new_password')
WHERE User = 'username' AND Host = 'hostname';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Method 4: Using mysqladmin (command line) bashmysqladmin -u username -p password new_password Method 5: Change your own password If you're changing your own password:
SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('new_password');
Or in MySQL 5.7.6+:
SET PASSWORD = 'new_password';
