My computer is Windows XP.

I need to find my.cnf to get all privileges back to the root user. I accidentally removed some privileges of the root user. I still have the password and there is no problem for me to log in to MySQL as the root user. But I can not alter a table.

privileges configuration mysql

Here is my answer:

  1. Win+R (shortcut for 'run'), type services.msc, Enter
  2. You should find an entry like 'MySQL56', right click on it, select properties
  3. You should see something like "D:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.6/bin\mysqld" --defaults-file="D:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\my.ini" MySQL56
