Trouble resetting forgotten MySQL root password

Hi there,
As the title suggests, I've forgotten my MySQL root password (and where I wrote it down) and have done endless searches (Google, MySQL site and forum, etc.), tried the resolutions but have not had any luck in resetting the password.
I tried the instructions on the MySQL site, but when I did that, I got this:
I've tried removing and restarting instances, as well as uninstalling MySQL, rebooting and then re-installing; still no success.
I'm running PHP (5.3.0) and MySQL (5.1.37) on Windows Vista.
I appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Thanks,
Heather

The simplest way that I know to deal with this situation on Windows is to uninstall MySQL. Doing so should leave the databases intact in the data folder, although you might want to copy the contents of the data folder to a different location first.
Inside the data folder is another folder called mysql. Delete it, and then reinstall MySQL. You should then be able to set up a new root password.

Hidding Password in JSP page

Hi all,
I m using the password value in the jsp page as ahidden variable which is thereafter used in the java script. but the problem is that while in view mode of the jsp page if u right click and view the source the password is getting displayed. which should not happen actually. can anybody help me regarding how to hide the password from the public view. i m using the following code for getting the password value.
<input type="hidden" name="ftpPwd" value='<%=request.getAttribute("ftpPwd") %>' />
Thanks in Advance
Nandini

Yes, I get that. But that's how it works, you can't change that. The best you can do is work with a hash instead of the plaintext password; but that's besides the point.
What I'm asking is what do you want to achieve? If you explain that then maybe someone can give you a better way to do it.

10.3 MYSQL Root Password problem..

We are running OSX Server 10.3.9 with the built in MYSQL. Somehow the root password for MYSQL that was set is not working and I am locked out with a 1045 error. I need to know how I go about resetting the ROOT password for MYSQL. as I mentioned, I am using the MYSQL that comes with 10.3.9. I have looked online but the tutorials for resetting the passwords do not work on my version...
Thanks...
-- Dave Hauss

I think by default Solaris uses CRYPT_DEFAULT=__unix__ which limits you to 8 characters.
in order to have more than 8 usable characters in your passwd, then you must use "md5"
CRYPT_DEFAULT=md5
this is located in : /etc/security/policy.conf
I think you may want to change the password length in /etc/default/passwd
PASSLENGTH= (default=6) change it to something of your liking.
be sure to do a little more research on the exact steps, but this is what you are loking for. im just going by memory here.

Problem resetting mysql root password

I have install 5.5.20 from mysql from the TAR file. that install was done from an admin user by the name of mysql. Using the mysql user, I have reached a point where I am unable to reset the root password. I have tried both method of resetting the password with no success. Here is what I did.

By the way, I closely monitored the .err file and nothing unusual or pacular showed up there.

MYSQL Root password

Hi Guys,
I'm rather new to all this PHP and MYSQL stuff, so please bear with me. I have downloaded and installed a copy of MYSQL and PHP, and am now trying to change tohe root password, but I keep getting an error message.
I log in to MYSQL with:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
from there I type:
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD('****') WHERE User = 'root';
but I keep getting an error message of:
ERROR 1142 (42000): UPDATE command denied to user ''@'localhost' for table 'user'
what have I got wrong?

I've tried to follow the above advice.
I've completely deleted my MySQl on OS X Server 10.4.7 and reinstalled using the lastest package "mysql-standard-5.0.24a-osx10.4-powerpc.dmg".
I just cannot get mysql to work properly, to set my root password.
See my first attempts with Terminal below (No.1)...
MySQL Adminsitaror and CoCoa SQL connecs with no username or password.
I've also tried to follow marcs advice at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/ but to no avail.
See my second attemps with Terminal below (No.2)...
If I can crack how to reinstall and setup MySQL on OS X Server 10.4.7 then I'll have a good Disaster Recovery Plan, I hope you can help, thanks.

MySql select statement in jsp page

Ok,
I need help with this select statement.
<%
// Determine what option is set to.
if(option == null || "".equals(option) || "Verify1".equals(option)){
if("Verify1".equals(option)){
// Retrive query specific to submitted form.
try {
      Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
      conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://" + mysql_host + ":3306/" + mysql_database, mysql_login, mysql_password);
      st = conn.createStatement();
      rs= st.executeQuery("SELECT organization FROM tblevent_approval WHERE MAX (keyid))";
      // Get query results.
      while(rs.next()){
        organization = rs.getString("organization");
finally {
        if(rs != null){
          rs.close();
        if(st != null){
          st.close()
        if(conn != null){
          conn.close();
%>THE ERROR I AM GETTING
Syntax error, insert ")" to complete Expression

This line has the closing bracket inside the closing quote for the statement...
>       rs= st.executeQuery("SELECT organization FROM tblevent_approval WHERE MAX (keyid))";It should be:
rs= st.executeQuery("SELECT organization FROM tblevent_approval WHERE MAX (keyid)");A simple typo ;-)
Hope this helps...

Passing input parameters from an applet to a JSP page

Hello all,
Yes, its one of these questions which I have tried to find a solution from the already large number of postings but with no luck. I'm still a novice to Java/JSP so bear with me.
Consider this scenario.
1. An applet which has two input boxes (say First name and surname). 2. These parameters will be passed to a JSP page (so the applet will call a JSP page).
3. The JSP will have have the necessary logic (or actually a JavaBean will) to connect to a database and add a new record with these parameters (first name and surname).
I also need to consider editing/updating the record in the database. So a JSP page will connect to the database, retrieving the required record from the database and then display the parameters back in an applet in two input boxes (first name and surname) to be edited and saved again.
I have been able to develop a similar application using simple HTML forms to add and update records in a database so I'm not worried about the database connectivity simply the issue of passing parameters from the applet to the JSP page and vice versa (for edit/update).
Once i've managed to do this with input boxes, I can experiment with the other input types radios, checkboxes, select etc.
Many thanks in advance,
Assad

create an URL object with u'r specified link of the java class and send the parameters..write trhis action in any buttonclick event in u'r applet.

JSP initialization and connection to R3 using a link in JSP

Hi all,
I am new to JSP's. I need java scriptlet code for jsp initialization.Also in my jsp page i need to make a link and on clicking, this link should fetch data from the backend R3 system.
Suggest some help.
Pooja Gehani

I think You need to read something about JCO (JavaConnector) - is java based library thanks to it You can make calls to function modules in R3 system (for example fetch data using some function module). When it comes to jsp please check some tutorials in SDN or Google cause it is difficult to explain You jsp technology in few words.
Below is example of jsp page which connects to R3 System, invoke some function with some parameters, gets return table and save it to file rettab.html.

Preventing local admin from changing root password

Is it possible to prevent a local admin from changing the root password? I would like to set up a computer so that the user has admin rights, but cannot change the root password via a terminal shell to gain root access.

I can't provide you with details, but I'm sure that all you need to do is to edit the sudoers file. It needs to be edited with <visudo> when logged in as root in a Terminal. The location is </private/etc/sudoers>, but you don't need to know that when using <visudo>. From a first look I'd suppose you only have to uncomment the %admin line, but better get some more information. I never did this myself.
