I need to set a MySql password

     I need to set a password for the root user and create a second user account and set that password in MySQL 5.5.16 on my 10.6.8 mac mini.  I know NOTHING about Terminal so I need super detailed. step by step instructions.  I need to know exactly what to type, where and when I type it.  Once I am done with this I don't need to do anything else in Terminal.  I have a program that uses a MySQL database and it doesn't work completely unless it can log in with a password.
     The program is AudioRack if you''re interested.

The creator of the AudioRack program recommended Sequel Pro to manage MySQL.  WOW, that works.

    The password you have changed is the password which protects the access to the web interface of the router. In other words, you must know this password to make changes to the configuration of the router. It is not the encryption key for wireless security. Wireless security is configured on the Wireless Security tab.

  • Mac osx 10.4.11 airport has 'none' security, do I need to set up a password?

    I usually use an etherenet connection to access the internet but set up a wireless connection using a dlink router,  so I can use my smartphone and kindle in wifi mode. I am quite new to wifi etc...
    Can anyone access my airport?
    Do I need to set a password?
    When I am in system preferences > airport I notice my security says 'none' but others networks elsewhere (neighbours ?) say WEP or WPA personal.
    How would I set a password? 
    I set a password ( I think )  through d link but this wouldn't allow me to use airport at all - even though it said airport was on it was greyed out and would not accept the password I had set for d link - error message kept appearing. Could not access this with phone or kindle. So I reset d link, now I can connect wirelessly but my security status is none.
    Is there an easy way I can make my airport more secure?
    Connected through ethernet at the moment, airport is turned off.
    Thanks

    What's the model of the D-Link?
    Does the screen look anything like this:
    http://support.dlink.com/emulators/wbr2310/wireless.htm
    (This is just an emulator, so you do have to make the changes on YOUR router screen, of course )
    If so, under Setup, go to Wireless Settings on the left, Enable WIreless and give the network a name, and the Wireless Security Mode should be set to WPA2 (not WPA2-Auto), leave as TKIP, Personal, then type a new password twice. This will be your network password.
    Click Save Settings at the top.

  • MySQL Manager, cannot set MySQL password in order to connect...

    I just installed the default MySQL files for the MySQL server (v4.1.13a) included with Tiger Server (v10.4.3). I was connected to the server remotely with Remote Desktop. I checked the box to allow network connections, and then briefly lost connection to the server via Remote Desktop as I was entering the password in the verify password field. Once I reestablished a connection to the server via Remote Desktop, all seemed okay. So, I tried connecting to the MySQL server with CocoMySQL (v0.5), but was refused connection. The firewall is not blocking the MySQL port. MySQL > Status shows that MySQL is running and shows root@localhost as the current user. I've tried connecting with the usernames root, admin and mysql with the password that I set in the MySQL Manager and with the passwords of the root and admin users of the server... but I cannot establish a connection via CocoMySQL. When I go to the MySQL Manager, and stop the service in order to change/ set the mysql password, but I am unable to because the verify field is not editable. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    What you need to do is open the MySQL Manager in the Server folder in Applications. Click the lock to authenticate. Stop the service. Click the Allow connections box and then start the service again. That just worked for me.

  • How to set username and password when using Proxy class for SOCKS5?

    Hi all,
    I use the proxy class for SOCKS5, so need to set username and password, I don't find where can I set the value. whether the API support it.
    Thanks in advance!

    System.getProperties().put("proxySet", "true");That does nothing. Remove.
    System.getProperties().put("proxyHost", getProxyHost());
    System.getProperties().put("proxyPort", getProxyPort());You should be setting socks.proxyHost and socks.proxyPort here.
    System.setProperty("java.net.socks.username", getSOCKSUsername());
    System.setProperty("java.net.socks.password", getSOCKSPassword());
    Authenticator.setDefault(new ProxyAuth(getSOCKSUsername(), getSOCKSPassword()));You either need the first two lines or the third, not both. See the last link posted above.
    1. After I set the value, I connect internet by proxy, how the proxy server knows the values?Because Java tells it during the SOCKS handshake.
    2. In my app, I just set the values in the system properties, then JVM does remaining work? Remaining work is not concerned?Should be OK unless you have to connect to a different SOCKS proxy from the same JVM, but that kind of thing is problematic anyway due to the curious Authenticator design which is set globally, not per connection as you might expect.

  • How do you set up a password on your airport express

    need help setting up a password for my airport express

    You do that with the AirPort Utility.
    If you've already set up your AE then you've used this app.

    I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

    Two different things
    If you forgot the password
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
    The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

  • Cannot Set MySQL Password

    I recently installed the latest version of MySql. I tried to set a password in terminal using the steps shown below.
    However, I get the error message below.
    Welcome to Darwin!
    [localhost:~] helpprob% alias mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
    [localhost:~] helpprob% mysql -u root -p
    Enter password:
    ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
    [localhost:~] helpprob%
    Maybe terminal wants me to type my previous sql password. If so,I don't remember what is is. I would appreciate any help.

    See the MySQL document: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/resetting-permissions.html
    The document says "Log on to your system as ... the Unix root user". But on MacOSX you can't do this. Just login to your Mac as an admin user and use "sudo" to get Unix-root privilege (do not confuse with the MySQL-root privilege):
    (1) Shutdown the MySQL server
    mac$ sudo kill `cat /usr/local/mysql/data/hostname.domain.pid`
    Password: (enter admin password for your Mac; not the mysql password)
    (If you have the MySQL Preference Pane in "System Preferences", then you can use it to shutdown the server)
    (2) create mysql-init (as described in the document) in your home directory, and
    (3) restart the server with a special option
    mac$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --init-file=$HOME/mysql-init &
    (4) delete mysql-init in your home directory.

  • I signed up yesterday with synch. I dont know my password and I need it to reset a new password. Please advise how to set a new password when I dont know old 1

    I signed up yesterday with synch. I don't know my password and I need it to reset a new password. Please advise how to set a new password when I dont know old 1
    I set it up on my "upstairs computer" and then came to my "downstairs computer" to synch and I can not get into the account because of the above password problem. I write down my passwords. I must have mistyped it or mis written.
    I want to change my password

    The new Sync version uses the Firefox account and stores the login data (username/email and password) under the https://accounts.firefox.com site heading in the Password Manager and use the signedInUser.json file in the profile folder to store the credentials once connected to the account to avoid having to enter the master password on each start.

  • Setting up MySQL for Dreamweaver 8

    I set up MySQL on my Macintosh yesterday, along with PHP --
    all went fine yesterday, until I tried to connect Dreamweaver to it
    (today I went back and uninstalled and tried to reinstall, and all goes less well -- can anyone tell me what
    robert:/usr/local/mysql robert$ bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'himmel'
    bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
    error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
    signifies?)
    In any case -- back to the story:
    I go to connect to the DB in Dreamweaver 8, and when I try to set up the DB in the "databases" tab and click on the "database" field I get
    "An unidentified error has occurred"
    and then
    "HTTP Error Code 404 File Not Found....
    [Possible Reasons]: 1) No testing server running on this machine.
    2) The Testing Server specified for this site does not map to the http://127.0.0.1/~robert/Sites/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php?Type=MySQL&Connecti onString=host=localhost;uid=dwmx;pwd=mm&Host=localhost&&UserName=dmwx&Password=m m&Timeout=30 URL. Verifiy that the URL prefixs points to the root of the site."
    Any clue? I know little about PHP or Unix, but am trying to learn.

    Great info - thank you, David! I will be trying that this
    afternoon.
    Before I do, however, I need to clarify whether I am doing
    this the "best"
    way in my decision to use MAMP. I was looking for the
    quickest, easiest way
    to get a Testing Server setup so that I could test out
    multiple client
    sites. In your opinion, is my approach the best solution? Do
    I need to
    purchase MAMP Pro?
    Thanks again, much appreciated!

  • Changing Root MySQL Password - Possible?

    Due to the departure of a former employee, we have need to change the root password for MySQL operating in OS X Apache on a Mac G4 tower. When we change the root password now for MySQL it seems to stop communicating with websites on the server which rely on it, even though each user database has its own unique user and password information. Are we hosed, or is it possible to change the root MySQL password in an environment where several websites on the server are already using databases within the MySQL set up?
    This is a great a valuable forum, I welcome any and all comments. TIA!

    It should be possible to change the root password. If you have problems accessing the database afterwards then it sounds like your applications aren't using the usernames and passwords that were created for them.
    If the apps are, indeed, using the root password this is something you should change. You'll need to check the apps' configurations and various logs to find out what they're using.
    In addition, if you haven't already done so, check out NaviCat. It's a GUI front-end for administering MySQL. While I don't use it at all for table management, it's front-end for managing users and permissions is way ahead of the command line.

    => is this a different iCloud account for each device?  I thought iCloud account ID had to match some iTunes account ID, for which we only have one i Tunes account?
    You need to set up a separate iCloud account for each person that does not want to share their iCloud data.  If you share an iCloud account with someone, any data you both sync with the shared account is merged, and you end up with each other's data on your device(s).  If, for example, you owned two devices and someone else in the family also owned two devices, you would both want your own iCloud accounts, and you would each set up your personal iCloud account on the two devices you own.  In other words, you want a separate iCloud account for each person to be used on the devices they own.  Each iCloud account has to have a separate Apple ID.  The ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes.  Many families perfer to share the same iTunes account/ID, but maintain separate iCloud accounts with different IDs to keep there data separated.
    ColleenMcG wrote:

    => what ID, iTunes?  So I can have a separate iCloud account "only" ID which I also assume must be some [valid] email address?  The children currently do not have email accounts anywhere.
    Yes, I was referring to the iTunes ID not needing to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.  In order to set up an Apple ID your children will need to have a valid email address that can be verified by Apple.  Apple requires this so they have a way of contacting the owner if there is a problem with the account, such as when you may need to reset the password on the account.  When you set up the ID, Apple will send a verification email to this email account and you will need to click on the verificating link in the email to complete the process.  If they don't currently have an email account you can just set one up with gmail or another free email hosting service.  They don't have to use the account but you will need it to set up the ID.

  • How do I set up a password on my WRT54GS?

    I have been using my wireless router for a couple of years and never bothered to set up a password... When I am away from home and try to use either my lap top or IPod Touch to connect to a wireless network, I notice that I need to enter a password to be allowed to do it... I would like to set up something similar in my wireless router so that anyone in my neighborhood attempting to use my wireless network has to enter a password before being able to do it.  How can I set this up?  I have no idea and would appreciate any help.... Thanks!

    1st it is suggested you do these steps on a hardwired PC.
    Step 1: Access the routers web based utility interface. To do this, open up Internet Explorer or any web browser and then type on the address bar http://192.168.1.1 (username just leave it blank, password as a default is admin).
    Then click on WIRELESS and then WIRELESS SECURITY.
    Step 2:
    Select WPA Personal under the Security Mode drop-down menu.
    Enter your desired WPA Key on the WPA Shared Key field such as “MySecretKey.” This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network.
    NOTE: Do not give this key to anyone. This key will secure your wireless network. Leave Group Key Renewal to 3600 seconds.
    Then save the settings and you are good to go from there.
