Topic: MySQL password

[edb]

Just upgraded to version 6.0.1 and now I cannot access databases. I use Navicat to access the databases and administer them but now the old password no longer works. I checked the .My.cnf file and it now has a long password that looks encripted.

Any idea on how I can change the MSQL root password?

Hmm - do people actually read these posts as i posted a reply to another person about this about a few hours ago in this exact forum    

Search is your best friend this is even on the documentation as well

Your posted answer didn't work
I've read other posts as well and they are to do with Webmail and I'm not having a problem with that.

I have some databases that I simply cannot access since the new install which provided a new MySQL password. I need to know how to change it from the 76 char password provided at install time.

I also checked out and old posting by Dan Brown which I know worked with previous releases but not this time?
