MySQL root User Change Ordinary User Password

As a MySQL root user, you can change the password of any other user in the system. This can be helpful if a user has forgotten their password, or if there's a need to reset it for security reasons.

Here's how you can change an ordinary user's password as a root user:

Step 1: Login to MySQL as root

First, you need to login to MySQL as the root user. Use the mysql command in your terminal or command prompt:

mysql -u root -p

You'll be prompted to enter the password for the root user.

Step 2: Change the User's Password

Once you're logged in as root, you can change another user's password with the ALTER USER command:

ALTER USER 'username'@'hostname' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';

Where:

'username' is the name of the user whose password you want to change.
'hostname' is the host from which the user connects to the database. This is usually 'localhost' if the user is connecting from the same machine where the MySQL server is running.
'new_password' is the new password you want to set for this user.

For example, to change the password of a user named 'bob' who connects from 'localhost', you would do:

ALTER USER 'bob'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_secure_password';

Replace 'new_secure_password' with the new password.

Step 3: Exit MySQL

You can exit the MySQL shell by typing:

EXIT;

Important:

When changing a user's password, make sure to follow good password security practices. The new password should be strong (a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols) and not easily guessable. Never use plain, dictionary words as passwords. Also, inform the user about the password change and make sure they change it to something only they know at the next login.
