What encryption xampp use to set password in MySQL??

Postby sanjaydsh » 17. February 2011 20:12

I've to set some bulk users in MySQL with different user id, passwords and privileges.

I do not want to do that one by one, I would like to use insert sql to do that.

Problem is I don't know what encryption algorithm is being used to generate the encrypted password to store in the "users" table.

Please advise, if it's possible to do it by backend script. Thanks!

Why don't you just use the privileges tab in phpmyadmin?

But still can't I generate this by using some script?

In \xampp\mysql\scripts folder you may find a script suitable for your needs or at least one you could adapt.

Sure, you can. phpMyAdmin is just a php administration application too.
for further reading => MySQL Password hashing

or use the mysql command line commands
