Don't use a password. Generate a passphrase-less SSH key and push it to your VM.
If you already have an SSH key, you can skip this step…
Just hit Enter for the key and both passphrases:
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
Copy your keys to the target server:
$ ssh-copy-id id@server
id@server's password:
Now try logging into the machine, with ssh 'id@server'
, and check-in:
.ssh/authorized_keys
Note: If you don't have .ssh dir and authorized_keys file, you need to create it first
to make sure we haven’t added extra keys that you weren’t expecting.
Finally, check to log in…
$ ssh id@server
id@server:~$
You may also want to look into using ssh-agent
if you want to try keeping your keys protected with a passphrase.
If you're asking how to run more than one statement with a single mysql
command, you can either simply separate them by semicolons:
$ mysql -e 'select 1; select 2'
+---+
| 1 |
+---+
| 1 |
+---+
+---+
| 2 |
+---+
| 2 |
+---+
or you can create a file containing the SQL statements and run that:
$ mysql < change_password.sql

To change the root password to
newpassword
:To change it so root doesn't require a password:
Note: I think it matters that there isn't a space between the
-p
and'oldpassword'
but I may be wrong about that
