Not sure where thuis post is best located so feel free to move please admins.

mysql-community-server-5.7
CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

mysql installed via

wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-9.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh mysql57-community-release-el7-9.noarch.rpm
yum install mysql-server -y

(and subsequent mysql_secure_installation etc)


as per this
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysqld-safe.html

"https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysqld-safe.html";

Fair enough.


That is all well and good but historically if one was daft enopugh to lose the root mysqld account password, one could start mysqld with

mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
the login with mysql -u root and so on.

With no mysqld_safe available now, what is the equivalent?

cheers

ian
