mysql如何查看root密码是什么

查看mysqlroot密码的方法：

1、首先我们进到MySQL的bin目录下

cd /usr/local/mysql/bin

2、切换成root身份

bin sudo su

3、跨过权限的验证

sh-3.2# ./mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
[1] 9451
sh-3.2# 2017-01-03T15:40:10.6NZ mysqld_safe Logging to '/usr/local/mysql/data/yzydeMacBook-Pro.local.err'.
2017-01-03T15:40:10.6NZ mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data

4、以root身份登录MySQL

./mysql -uroot

5、选择mysql数据库

mysql> use mysql
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
 
Database changed

6、显示mysql数据库下的表

mysql> show tables;
+---------------------------+
| Tables_in_mysql   |
+---------------------------+
| columns_priv    |
| db      |
| engine_cost    |
| event      |
| func      |
| general_log    |
| gtid_executed    |
| help_category    |
| help_keyword    |
| help_relation    |
| help_topic    |
| innodb_index_stats  |
| innodb_table_stats  |
| ndb_binlog_index   |
| plugin     |
| proc      |
| procs_priv    |
| proxies_priv    |
| server_cost    |
| servers     |
| slave_master_info   |
| slave_relay_log_info  |
| slave_worker_info   |
| slow_log     |
| tables_priv    |
| time_zone     |
| time_zone_leap_second  |
| time_zone_name   |
| time_zone_transition  |
| time_zone_transition_type |
| user      |
+---------------------------+
31 rows in set (0.00 sec)

7、很明显我们需要的密码是存在user这个表下的，所以我们直接看user的表结构是怎么样的

mysql> show columns from user;
+------------------+-----------------------+------+-----+------------+-------+
| Field     | Type        | Null | Key | Default    | Extra |
+------------------+-----------------------+------+-----+-------------+-------+
| Host     | char(60)       | NO | PRI |      |  |
| User     | char(32)       | NO | PRI |      |  |
| Select_priv   | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Insert_priv   | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Update_priv   | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Delete_priv   | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Create_priv   | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |

| Process_priv   | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| File_priv    | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Grant_priv    | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| References_priv  | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |

| Alter_priv    | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Show_db_priv   | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Super_priv    | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Create_tmp_table_priv | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Lock_tables_priv  | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Execute_priv   | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Repl_slave_priv  | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Repl_client_priv  | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Create_view_priv  | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Show_view_priv   | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Create_routine_priv | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Alter_routine_priv  | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Create_user_priv  | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Event_priv    | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Trigger_priv   | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| Create_tablespace_priv | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| ssl_type    | enum('','ANY','X509','SPECIFIED') | NO |  |      |  |
| ssl_cipher    | blob        | NO |  | NULL     |  |
| x509_issuer   | blob        | NO |  | NULL     |  |
| x509_subject   | blob        | NO |  | NULL     |  |
| max_questions   | int(11) unsigned     | NO |  | 0      |  |
| max_updates   | int(11) unsigned     | NO |  | 0      |  |
| max_connections  | int(11) unsigned     | NO |  | 0      |  |
| max_user_connections | int(11) unsigned     | NO |  | 0      |  |
| plugin     | char(64)       | NO |  | mysql_native_password |  |
| authentication_string | text        | YES |  | NULL     |  |
| password_expired  | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
| password_last_changed | timestamp       | YES |  | NULL     |  |
| password_lifetime  | smallint(5) unsigned    | YES |  | NULL     |  |
| account_locked   | enum('N','Y')      | NO |  | N      |  |
+--------------------+---------------------+------+-----+------------+-------+
45 rows in set (0.02 sec)

8、表的内容比较多，但是我们很容易就发现，密码其实是存在authentication_string字段下的，那我们就可以直接读User内容为root的密码了

mysql> select authentication_string from user where User='root';
+-------------------------------------------+
| authentication_string      |
+-------------------------------------------+
| *781D25322166DB7FF99BA4A1FA5ED30439A60DDE |
+-------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
