debian - Access mysql without password, running as OS root -


is there way user root access mysql, privileges, without knowing password?

i more used, without being expert, postgresql, , know default debian install of latter can type:

# su - postgres $ psql 

i have root access server working on, administrator has not created mysql account me, , not reachable.

considering tamper mysql files, suppose there must way me log in, haven't found yet.

there mysql user, seems doesn't work postgres user:

# su - mysql # whoami root # mysql error 1045 (28000): access denied user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: no) 

it has been pointed out not practice, have found way.

mysqld has command-line switch named --init-file refers file containing sql commands executed when server starts.

so able create user myself commands:

# echo create user 'scozy'@'localhost' identified '****'; > /root/init.sql # /etc/init.d/mysql stop # mysqld --init-file=/root/init.sql # /etc/init.d/mysql restart
