How to Update a root password

To update the root password in MySQL, you can follow these steps:

1. Log in to MySQL as the root user:
   bash

   mysql -u root -p

2. Enter the current root password when prompted.
3. Once logged in, use the following SQL command to update the root password:
   sql

   ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';


   Replace 'new_password' with your desired new password.

4. After updating the password, flush the privileges to apply the changes:
