How to change user password on mysql

Mysql change user password using the following method:

Open the bash shell and connect to the server as root user:
mysql -u root -h localhost -p

Run ALERT mysql command:

Finally type SQL command to reload the grant tables in the mysql database:

mysql command to change a user password

Login as root from the shell:
$ mysql -u root -p
Switch to mysql database (type command at mysql> prompt, do not include string “mysql>”):
mysql> use mysql;
The syntax is as follows for mysql database server version 5.7.5 or older:

SET PASSWORD FOR 'user-name-here'@'hostname' = PASSWORD('new-password');

For mysql database server version 5.7.6 or newer use the following syntax:

ALTER USER 'user'@'hostname' IDENTIFIED BY 'newPass';

You can also use the following sql syntax:

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('new-password-here') WHERE USER='user-name-here' AND Host='host-name-here';

In this example, change a password for a user called tom:

SET PASSWORD FOR 'tom'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('foobar');

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('foobar') WHERE USER='tom' AND Host='localhost';

Sample outputs:

Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Warnings: 0

Feel free to replace the values for “tom” (user), “localhost” (hostname), and “foobar” (password) as per your requirements. Finally, type the following command to reload privileges:
