      <h1>Reset the MySQL/MariaDB Root Password</h1>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>By default, the MySQL/MariaDB installation that ships with XAMPP has an empty root password. This is a serious security risk, especially if you plan to use XAMPP in production scenarios.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To change the MySQL/MariaDB root password, follow these steps:</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>Ensure that the MySQL/MariaDB server is running.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Open your Windows command prompt by clicking the "Shell" button in the XAMPP control panel.</p>
<div class="imageblock">
<div class="content">
<img src="./images/reset-mysql-password/image1.png" alt="image1">
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use the <em>mysqladmin</em> command-line utility to alter the MySQL/MariaDB password, using the following syntax:</p>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>mysqladmin --user=root password "newpassword"</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example, to change the MySQL/MariaDB root password from its default empty value to the password <em>gue55me</em>, you would execute:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>mysqladmin --user=root password "gue55me"</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="imageblock">
<div class="content">
<img src="./images/reset-mysql-password/image2.png" alt="image2">
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Or, if a password has already been previously set and you&#8217;d like to change it to a new one, you can use the following syntax:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>mysqladmin --user=root --password=oldpassword password "newpassword"</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example, to change the root password from <em>12345</em> to <em>gue55me</em>, you would execute:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>mysqladmin --user=root --password=12345 password "gue55me"</pre>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Test that your password change has been accepted, by attempting to connect to the MySQL/MariaDB server using the <em>mysql</em> command-line client in the same directory. For example, you could use the command below to connect to the server and return the results of a calculation:</p>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>mysql --user=root --password=gue55me -e "SELECT 1+1"</pre>
</div>
</div>
