13.5.1.6 `SET PASSWORD' Syntax
..............................
SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('SOME PASSWORD')
SET PASSWORD FOR USER = PASSWORD('SOME PASSWORD')
The `SET PASSWORD' statement assigns a password to an existing MySQL
user account.
The first syntax sets the password for the current user. Any client
that has connected to the server using a non-anonymous account can
change the password for that account.
The second syntax sets the password for a specific account on the
current server host. Only clients that have the `UPDATE' privilege for
the `mysql' database can do this. The USER value should be given in
`USER_NAME@HOST_NAME' format, where USER_NAME and HOST_NAME are exactly
as they are listed in the `User' and `Host' columns of the `mysql.user'
table entry. For example, if you had an entry with `User' and `Host'
column values of `'bob'' and `'%.loc.gov'', you would write the
statement like this:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'bob'@'%.loc.gov' = PASSWORD('NEWPASS');
That is equivalent to the following statements:
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('NEWPASS')
WHERE User='bob' AND Host='%.loc.gov';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
* If you are connecting to a MySQL 4.1 or later server using a
pre-4.1 client program, do not use the preceding `SET PASSWORD' or
`UPDATE' statement without reading password-hashing, first. The
password format changed in MySQL 4.1, and under certain circumstances
it is possible that if you change your password, you might not be able
to connect to the server afterward.
You can see which account the server authenticated you as by executing
`SELECT CURRENT_USER()'.
