我刚刚在Mac OS x上安装了MySQL，下一步是设置root用户密码，所以我接下来这样做:
启动终端应用程序以访问Unix命令行。
在Unix提示符下，我执行了以下命令:
cd /usr/local/mysql/bin
./mysqladmin -u root password' password'
但是，当我执行命令时
./mysql -u root，这是答案:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 224

mysql>
我不需要密码就能进入mysql命令行!
为什么会这样?
MySQL 8有了很大的变化。我发现MySQL 8.0“如何重置根密码”文档的以下修改适用于Mac OS X。
创建一个临时文件$HOME/mysql.root.txt，用SQL更新根密码:
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '<new-password>';
这使用mysql_native_password来避免身份验证插件'caching_sha2_password'无法加载错误，如果我省略该选项，我就会得到这个错误。
停止服务器，使用——init-file选项来设置根密码，然后重新启动服务器:
mysql.server stop
mysql.server start --init-file=$HOME/mysql.root.txt
mysql.server stop
mysql.server start
$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
now,to make this permanent:
$ echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin' >> ~/.bash_profile
next, start mysql in safe mode:
$ sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables;
If this does not work, go to System Preferences and stop MySQL server.
next, On the **other** terminal, you may use the below:
$ mysql -u root
mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=null WHERE
User='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;
$ mysql -u root
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH
caching_sha2_password BY 'yourpassword';
$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
mysql> SELECT user();
next, start the mysql server in normal mode. and you're done with resetting your root password. this worked for mysql 8.0.17 ver. for me.
