windows environment . The specific operation is: ctrl+alt+delete—>Task Manager—>End mysql.exe. 2. The cmd command opens a DOS window and goes to the mysql\bin directory. The specific operation is: ->cd C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin (default installation directory, similar to custom directory). 3. Enter mysqld -nt –skip-grant-tables (note that there is a space between mysqld and -nt) 4. Open another DOS window (because the DOS window just now cannot be moved), go to the mysql\bin directory (operation Same as step 2). 5. Enter mysql and press Enter, if successful, the MySQL prompt > will appear. If it is unsuccessful, it may be that mysql.exe is not closed. If it is closed, repeat step 5. 6. Connect to the permission database > use mysql; (> is the original prompt, don't forget the final semicolon)








7. Change the password: > update user set password=password(“123456”) where user=”root”; (don’t forget the semicolon at the end)
7. Refresh privileges (required steps) > flush privileges;
