如果你忘记了MySQL的根密码，不记得或者想要闯入.....你可以在Linux或OS X的命令行中重置MySQL数据库密码，只要你知道你所在的机器的root用户密码:

(1)停止MySQL

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop

(2)安全模式启动:

sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables

(3)这将是一个持续的命令，直到进程结束，所以打开另一个shell/终端窗口，登录没有密码:

mysql -u root

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('password') WHERE User='root';

在上面的UPDATE命令中，只需将'password'替换为您自己的新密码，请确保保留引号

(4)节省和安静

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

\q

启动MySQL

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

停止mysqld服务器。

Mac OS X:系统首选项→MySQL→停止MySQL服务器 Linux(从终端):sudo systemctl停止mysqld.service

Start the server in safe mode with privilege bypass From Terminal: sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables In a new terminal window: sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root This will open the MySQL command-line client. From here enter: UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('NewPassword') WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; quit Stop the mysqld server again and restart it in normal mode. Mac OS X (From Terminal): sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server restart Linux Terminal: sudo systemctl restart mysqld

当您登录MySQL终端时，请尝试执行FLUSH PRIVILEGES命令。如果这不起作用，请在MySQL终端中尝试以下命令集

mysql -u root

mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD("NEWPASSWORD") WHERE User='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit

用你想要的任何密码更改NEWPASSWORD。应该都准备好了!

更新:从MySQL 5.7开始，密码字段被重命名为authentication_string。修改密码时，使用以下查询来修改密码。所有其他命令保持不变:

mysql> UPDATE user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD("NEWPASSWORD") WHERE User='root';

请不要使用MySQL 8.0+

mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string='password' WHERE User='root'; 

因为它覆盖了authentication_string，它应该是一个哈希而不是纯文本，而是使用:

mysql> `ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass';` 

这就是对我有效的方法:

Make sure no other MySQL process is running. To check this do the following: From the terminal, run this command: lsof -i:3306 If any PID is returned, kill it using kill -9 PID Go to System Preferences → MySQL → check if any MySQL instances are running, stop them. Start MySQL with the command: sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables The password for every user is stored in the mysql.user table under columns User and authentication_string respectively. We can update the table as: UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string='your_password' where User='root'

在新的MySQL 5.7版本中，由于某些原因MySQL的二进制命令没有附加到shell中，你必须这样做:

安装完成后重新启动Mac。 MySQL开始: System Preferences→MySQL→Start按钮 进入终端的MySQL install文件夹: cd /usr/local/mysql/bin/ 访问MySQL: ./mysql -u root -p 并输入为安装提供的初始密码。 在MySQL客户端修改密码: mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPassword'

mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
mysql -u root
UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string='yourpasswd' WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'yourpasswd';

每次我的MacBook重启时，我都需要这样做。
