This intention to modify a user’s password, the command found on the Internet is as follows
| 1 | mysql> Update user set password=password(" new password ") where user= "username"; |
ERROR 1054(42S22) Unknown column ‘password’ in ‘field List’
The reason for the error is that the password field is no longer in mysql database in version 5.7, so the password field is changed to AUTHENTICation_string
So use the command:
>mysql -u root -p
Enter password: ********
