Title: Destroyed SQL-Root Password
Post by: Lex on September 01, 2002, 03:25:06 PM

I´d destroyed the mysql-root password (erased in webmin-mysql the root-user)
No i could only access by the user admin + passwd. How i can i set new
the root password. Is there any script, that set it´s new?

Oh, and don't use webmin on an SME box.

Webmin works fine if you know what you're doing, even on SME.

It is a great way of learning. You can see what things change when you do something. And if anything goes wrong there are the templates...

You can see what you're changing, until the next event expands a template
that overwrites your changes. *Always* expect changes made to templated
files to be *discarded* unless you modify the templates themselves.

Of course, if you don't mind the changes you make via webmin being blown
away in the normal operation of the server, then webmin "works", but that's
not what "works" usually means. :-)
