I was attempting to change the username and password of the MySQL in-app database in my Azure web app. I mistakenly thought that by changing the connection string in MYSQLCONNSTR_localdb.ini would change the password. I am wondering if there is a way to restore the original MYSQLCONNSTR_localdb.ini file so I can get the password and access the database. I also deleted the MYSQLCONNSTR_localdb.txt file.
It seems you don't need to restore the password, you could customize the database, username and password to be used.
In the doc:
If you want to customize the database, username and password, after you have created a new database, add new username or update password, simply modify D:\home\data\mysql\MYSQLCONNSTR_localdb.ini , remove D:\home\data\mysql\MYSQLCONNSTR_localdb.txt and restart the WebApps.

I'm using the mysql 8.0.15. i know there is one same question, but in the recent version mysql 8.0.11, PASSWORD function is removed. I'm trying to get back my root user password, i have got the encrypted string caching_sha2_passIBjIZxTzot5bM9bujMxG9orfl6Ctt.w2SDLZUzAsrxD0 how can i decrpyt it? Also i try to follow solutions from this to reset password, but without the password function, almost cannot proceed.
Passwords for authentication are stored in a way that's irrecoverable, it's a one-way hashing function that's applied. In this case it's SHA2.
There's no way to "unhash" this by design. The database entry contains just enough information to validate any given password, but not enough to tell you what the password is.
You can reset the password by disabling password checks and set a new password.
I Am working on installation of an application which uses MySql 5.6 Database and Tomcat as web server. After successful installation, there were two users found(admin & ascuser) by default. At first, i login(to GUI) with admin user and given (pre-defined) password. Then prompted to change admin password which went good. Later unfortunately i lost the admin password. Then i could not login to GUI. There is no option to reset admin password in GUI. There is no info provided about ascuser. I logged in to the mysql DB as root user. Passwords are hashed.
Here are few queries. Can anyone please suggest how to change/reset the password for admin user? I dont want to create any other users apart from the existing ones.
FYI:
Below are few outputs:

I googled for password() in mysql to reset the admin password. But all in vain. Can any one Please provide some inputs ?
Unfortunately you cant crack the salted hashes .
But yes you can reset the user Password
check this thread How can I decrypt MySQL passwords
I want to restore an owncloud installation by restoring the database and all web files.My problem is, that I used the root user for the mysql database and owncloud created another user called oc-michael (my account name is michael). Now I need the password of this user to be able to create a user with this password.
Or how can I do this?
The password of the MySQL user oc-michael is written in your /config/config.php at the 'dbpassword' variable.
Hint: Please note that this looks like a hash but its just a very long plaintext password which was auto-generated.
Good Day
I am a front-end developer, and I know little from MySQL and databases.
I have a Wordpress MySQL database in CPanel. Now I forgot my password, and the password for my user as seen in phpmyadmin is hashed/encrypted.
How do I get the password?
NOTE: I do not have access to the Server since this is a website on a shared hosting account, so doing the following is not possible for me:
See this post on Stack
Stop the MySQL process.
Start the MySQL process with the --skip-grant-tables option.
Start the MySQL console client with the -u root option.
List all the users;
SELECT * FROM mysql.user;
Reset password;
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('[password]') WHERE User='[username]';
But DO NOT FORGET to
Stop the MySQL process
Start the MySQL Process normally (i.e. without the --skip-grant-tables option)
when you are finished. Otherwise, your database's security could be compromised.
If your website is working you can probably find the mysql user/password
in the config.php file in your wordpress filesystem.
Otherwise:
Your best option is probably to add a user to the database and give it the needed privileges, to do that:
Click MySQL databases.
Create new user.
Assign new user to your database.
Edit config.php on your wordpress filesystem and change to the new username.
This is sub optimal, but will work.
There is a simple way for you to gain access to your WordPress user info if you don't know the password. I'm assuming you are talking about a WordPress user password retrieval. You need to have access and edit privileges to your database to do this.
-Open up phpMyAdmin or however you prefer to access database tables
-Select your database
-Open the table wp_users
-Under the column 'user_login' you will need to find which entry you want to access. Your username should be in one of the row entries.
-Once found, there will be a 'user_pass' column as well. Now some explaining needs to happen. You cannot retrieve your password without hacking/brute forcing that encryption. These are MD5 hash encrypted passwords. What we are going to do is just simply create a new password here. All you have to do is Google "MD5 Hash generator". I tested this on the first result I found and it worked.
-Once you find a website with a generator just simply type in your password and then retrieve the hash that's given to you. For example I typed in 'password' and I receive '5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99' Now we have a new encrypted password to set. If you are worried about sites saving your password entries or hashes just make up a password as a temporary fix. Then you can just login with that and change the password via the WordPress Dashboard later.
-Select the row that your username is in. Click Change/Edit then just copy and paste the entire MD5 Hash into the wp_pass column.(Overwrite the old password btw.) Save/Go/Execute to make sure the table was re-written. In this example I would be pasting '5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99' into the column without quotes of course.
-Please be sure to only change the 'wp_pass' entry and to make sure it's corresponding to the correct username.(On the same row)
-Now you should be able to login with your new password.('password')
I'm using phpmyadmin/wampserver. Is it possible to add a password on a database?Because my problem is I cannot access the whole thing(http://localhost/phpmyadmin) in my web browser if I put a password on it.
instead of doing that, i suggest you put a password to the mysql account you are using in connecting to mysql thru phpmyadmin. then, edit the field relating to the 'password' of the mysql account you are using in the config file of you phpmyadmin app... just a thought!
what do you need the password for? you can create 2 users of the db - one for select/view only privs and another for full privs
