$ 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.

这个解决方法在我的笔记本电脑上工作!

Mac与macOS v10.14.5 (Mojave)。

MySQL 8.0.17是用Homebrew安装的。

执行如下命令找到MySQL的路径 编译mysql信息 一旦路径已知，我运行这个: /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/8.0.17/bin/mysqld_safe——skip-grant-table 在另一个终端，我运行: Mysql -u root 在该终端中，我使用以下方法更改了root密码: 更新mysql。user='root'; 说完我就跑: 冲洗特权;

voilà，密码被重置。

MySQL 8

关闭MySQL服务器

进入系统首选项-> MySQL 单击停止MySQL服务器按钮

打开两个终端[命令行]窗口 在第一个终端窗口中运行以下命令:

mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables

在第二个终端窗口中执行以下操作:

4.1. 登录MySQL

mysql -u root

4.2. 在MySQL提示符中执行如下命令:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'NEWPASSWORD';

4.3. 退出MySQL

exit;

回到第一个终端窗口并关闭mysqld_safe

5.1. 按CTRL + Z

5.2. 运行以下命令

mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown

5.3. 输入在4.2中设置的新密码。当提示。

启动MySQL服务器[见1.]

mysql网站上提供的说明非常清楚，比上面提到的还要清楚

$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql服务器停止 $ sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql服务器启动——skip-grant-tables /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass'; mysql>退出或按Ctrl + z $ sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql服务器停止 $ sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql服务器启动 /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql -u root -p 输入新密码，即MyNewPass

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

我用以下方法解决了这个问题:

关闭MySQL服务器:MySQL。服务器停止 以安全模式运行MySQL: mysqld_safe——skip-grant-tables 在另一个终端，使用mysql -u root登录 在同一终端上运行UPDATE mysql。SET authentication_string=null WHERE user ='root';然后用exit退出; 使用mysql停止安全模式服务器。服务器停止后再正常启动;mysql。服务器启动

现在您可以使用

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'yourpasswd';
