-bash-4.2$ service MySQL status
 SUCCESS! MySQL running (2670)
-bash-4.2$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password: 
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

以下是密码忘记的解决方法:

修改MySQL的参数设置： 
# vi /etc/my.cnf 
在[mysqld]的段最后一行加上一句：skip-grant-tables 
例如： 
[mysqld] 
........................
log-bin=mysql-bin
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:12M;ibdata2:100M;ibdata3:300M:autoextend
innodb_file_per_table=on
max_connections=500
skip-grant-tables    --新增加行
保存并且退出vi.

重启MySQL服务:
[root@chenfeng subsys]# service mysql restart
Shutting down MySQL. SUCCESS! 
Starting MySQL. SUCCESS! 

-bash-4.2$ mysql    --不用输密码直接登录

将MySQL的参数设置修改回来:
# vi /etc/my.cnf 
将刚才在[mysqld]的段中最后一行加上的skip-grant-tables删除,然后保存退出。
