我认为这是可行的:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOURNEWPASSWORD'

(注意，如果你的用户名不是root，你可能应该用你的用户名替换root。)

如果你忘记了你的密码或者想把它改成你的MySQL:

Start your terminal and enter: sudo su Enter the password for you system Stop your MySQL server: sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop Leave this window open, run second terminal window and enter here: mysql -u root And change your password for MySQL: UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('new_password') WHERE User='root'; where "new_password" - your new password. You don't need old password for MySQL. Flush, quit and check your new password: FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Close all windows and check your new password for MySQL.

在终端中，写入mysql -u root -p并点击Return。

输入您必须记下的当前MySQL密码。

并设置密码:

SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('new_password');

更多细节请参考这里的文档。

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'

现有答案中提到的方法不适用于MySQL 5.7.6或更高版本。根据MySQL文档，这是推荐的方法。

B.5.3.2.3重置Root用户密码:通用说明

MySQL 5.7.6及以上版本:

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

参考:https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html

如果你不记得密码，@radtek的答案对我来说是有效的，除了在我的情况下，我已经使用brew设置了MySQL，这意味着他的答案的第1步和第2步必须更改为:

/usr/local/bin/mysql.服务器停止 /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe——skip-grant-tables

注意:缺少sudo。
