有修改MySQL配置文件的权限
有重启MySQL服务的权限
先修改配置文件：
引用
# vim /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks;
# to do so, uncomment this line:
# symbolic-links=0
[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
在[mysqld]下增加skip-grant-tables，即跳过权限验证。
然后登录MySQL，修改root密码：
引用
# mysql
