在centOS上安装完mysql, 登录MYSQL时遇到错误
[root@mysql-server Downloads]# mysql -u root
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

关键要用MYSQLD_OPTS="--skip-grant-tables"重新启动mysql服务
[root@mysql-server Downloads]# systemctl stop mysqld
[root@mysql-server Downloads]# systemctl set-enviroment MYSQLD_OPTS="--skip-grant-tables"
Unknown operation 'set-enviroment'.
[root@mysql-server Downloads]# systemctl set-environment MYSQLD_OPTS="--skip-grant-tables"
[root@mysql-server Downloads]# systemctl start mysqld
[root@mysql-server Downloads]# myslq -u root
bash: myslq: command not found...
Similar command is: 'mysql'
[root@mysql-server Downloads]# mysql -u root
