Reset MySql Password

I was having trouble following instruct on some website with using mysqladmin, 

some how it didn't work, luckily I remember the method below.

Reseting your mysql password

1 .You need to run mysql in safe-mode

safe_mysqld --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &

2. Access mysql:

mysql

3. Get a list of user from the database

use mysql;

select * from user;

4. Pick a user to change their password.
In my case it was a fresh install so I change all the user password

update user set password=password('newPassword');

5. Flush the privileges

FLUSH PRIVILEGES

6. Restart mysql

killall mysqld

service mysql start
