Where can I find the debian.cnf file in Ubuntu 14.04? It was under "/etc/mysql/debian.cnf" in Ubuntu 12.04.

Is there some location changes or name changes?

What I want is to reset MySQL root password, using "debian-sys-maint" user right.

I am now trying to find the file following this one.

Since we are a site dedicated to Ubuntu and you mention 14.04 I assume you are talking about Ubuntu 14.04.

You can find file locations with locate. So ...

$ locate debian.cnf

/etc/mysql/debian.cnf

edit:

This requires you to have mysql installed (as seen by Christophers' answer)
