Force Exit on Weblish
I tried to change my Mysql root password through Weblish. Estimated password strength=100, but I get an error …Failed! SET PASSWORD has no significance for user 'root@localhost'.
It keeps going back to the prompt New Password:
I tried Ctrl+A D 'Exit' to no avail. Where could I have gone wrong? I'm still able to use Glish, but I prefer Weblish.

Did you try Ctrl-C? That's the usual method to interactively send SIGINT to a process…
If that doesn't work, go to another session (glish or ssh) and kill the process.
sudo kill -INT <pid>
or
sudo kill -2 <pid>
where <pid> is the process id of the mysql program that's stuck.
kill -9 or kill -KILL will absolutely, positively, always work…but it should always be the choice of last resort…
