If you are re-installing only Wireless Manager (WM) by not removing License Manager and Mysql from the existing installation, are not sure about the Root account password and the error below is received, you can follow the below mentioned procedure to reset the password.
Go to Terminal and stop the service with below command
(Ubuntu and Debian) Run the following command: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
(CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux) Run the following command: sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld stop
Start MySQL without a password
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
Login to the Mysql
mysql –uroot
use mysql;
update user set password=PASSWORD("public") where User='root';
flush privileges;
quit
This will create the password as public for root account
Stop and start the MySQL service
(Ubuntu and Debian) Run the following commands:
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
(CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux) Run the following commands:
sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld stop
sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld start
Log in to the database to cross check if the password public is working
mysql -u root –p
(Enter the password public and you should be able to login to the mysql)
Now on the WM installation GUI you can try the password and that should work.
