I need to reset the root password for the database for Snapcenter but apparently Netapp isn't actually able to support the Database they wrote their product on.
All they have done is send me the generic MYSQL links which I've tried and failed to have work...probably because they have customized the shito ut the install to boot
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html
I've gone throuhg this and tried the different scripts along with passing the --datadir command to the databases that I think are stored under the C:\programdata folder and it appears to work but nothing happens...I cannot login as root.
I even thought about cheating and using the command line in the registry for the service and just adding in the --init-file to the command line but it tells me that MYSQL57 is not a valid variable.
The command line is something like mysqld --default-file <path> MYSQL57
I am not sure what the MYSQL57 is, unless its an instance name or something...
