Resetting password

We can reset a user's password by directly modifying the MySQL database table called users_table. More specifically, we delete that user's information from users_table so that the user could sign up again. Suppose the user's student number is 201131129138.

To do so, LRR administrator logs in to MySQL using the following command: mysql -u username -p. Type the correct password to access the MySQL database.

After that, issue the following commands in the mysql prompt.

• use lrr;

• delete from users_table where Student_ID="201131129138";

The first one uses a database called lrr in MySQL. The second one deletes a record from users_table where the student number is 201131129138.
