MySQL password problem
LockedCan you help me crack the root password? Ha! Kidding 😀
Seriously though, I am having an issue with logging into MySQL form the command line as root. The problem is my password follows this pattern !password! this is a shop standard password. The problem is when I run the following command.
#mysql -uroot -p!password!
Linux returns “-bash: !password!: event not found
Obviously the ! is being read as something other than a character in the password. If I just run the following.
#mysql
it doesn’t log me in as the root user it logs me in with a blank username. Is there any way I can pass the ! when I log in?
