  • 0

I am able to login with root – “No password”, But i can’t change password. I checked many links , everybody saying to run update query on user table , but i even can’t find user table in phpmyadmin.

Error I am getting is : 

$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password
Enter password: 
New password: 
Confirm new password: 

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: Can't turn off logging; error: 'Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation'

Any help will be highly useful

    I solved the Problem , Thanks for all.I reinstalled the mysql server as per following guide , the problem was I updated password directly to the mysql.user table with update query , its wrong , since the password should be stored as encrypted in mysql.user table , if we updating it directly through query then it will be a string.

    Excellant guide : http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/2011/02/10/mac-os-x-mysql-install/

    Thanks again for everybody 🙂
