• ith no FOR user clause, this statement sets the password for the current user:

  SET PASSWORD = password_option;
  

  Any client who connects to the server using a nonanonymous account can change the password for that account. To see which account the server authenticated you as, invoke the CURRENT_USER() function:

  SELECT CURRENT_USER();
  

  Permitted old_passwords values are described later in this section.

• With a FOR user clause, this statement sets the password for the named account, which must exist:

  SET PASSWORD FOR 'jeffrey'@'localhost' = password_option;
  

  In this case, you must have the UPDATE privilege for the mysql database.

When the read_only system variable is enabled, SET PASSWORD requires the SUPER privilege in addition to any other required privileges.

If a FOR user clause is given, the account name uses the format described in Section 6.2.3, “Specifying Account Names”. The user value should be given as 'user_name'@'host_name', where 'user_name' and 'host_name' are exactly as listed in the User and Host columns of the account's mysql.user table row. If you specify only a user name, a host name of '%' is used. For example, to set the password for an account with User and Host column values of 'bob' and '%.example.org', write the statement like this:

SET PASSWORD FOR 'bob'@'%.example.org' = PASSWORD('cleartext password');
