    For whatever reason you may encounter this type of problem with your database password after installing wordpress on linux here is a solution….

    Open up the terminal and follow these steps of commands,

    sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

    sudo mysqld –skip-grant-tables &

    mysql -u root mysql

    Replace YOURNEWPASSWORD with your new password!

    UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD(‘YOURNEWPASSWORD’) WHERE User=’root’; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; exit;

    Note: This method is not regarded as the securest way of resetting the password. However it works.
