Hi expert,

I lost my password and need to reset it.

Tried using powerShell as well as cmd to do it but then I got the above message.

The steps that I tried to follow are as follows :

reference : https://dev.mysql.co...ns-windows.html

C:\> cd "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin"
C:\> mysqld --init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt

After I finished the second line, it just gave me the error :
mysqld is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable

Hope someone can help me out cos I have been trying the entire night....
