Instead of resetting the password there is a work around on the local machine if you have setup phpmyadmin to connect without giving the password or username. Check this out by starting mysql, apache etc. I have xampp installed in my local machine. So starting the xampp will start all the necessary services. Now going to http://localhost/phpmyadmin shows me all the databases. This confirms that you have saved the username and passsword in the config file of phpmyadmin which can be found in the phpmyadmin install location. If you have xampp installed the phpmyadmin folder can be found in the root folder of xampp installation. Search for the word password in the config.inc.php file. There you will find the password and username.

这就像我为Ubuntu 16.04做的一样。 完全归功于下面的链接，因为我从那里得到了它。 [https://coderwall.com/p/j9btlg/reset-the-mysql-5-7-root-password-in-ubuntu-16-04-lts] [1]

停止MySQL

sudo service mysql stop

制作MySQL服务目录。 Sudo mkdir /var/run/mysqld

赋予MySQL用户写入服务目录的权限。

sudo chown mysql: /var/run/mysqld

手动启动MySQL，不需要权限检查或联网。

sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &

无需密码即可登录。

mysql -uroot mysql

更新root用户密码。 确保下面的查询至少更新了根帐户。 如果您愿意，进行一些选择并检查现有的值

UPDATE mysql.user SET 
authentication_string=PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD'), 
plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root';
EXIT;

关闭MySQL。

sudo mysqladmin -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock shutdown

正常启动MySQL服务。

sudo service mysql start

对我有用的(Ubuntu 16.04, mysql 5.7):

停止MySQL

sudo service mysql stop

制作MySQL服务目录。

sudo mkdir /var/run/mysqld

赋予MySQL用户写入服务目录的权限。

sudo chown mysql: /var/run/mysqld

手动启动MySQL，不需要权限检查或联网。

sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &

在另一个控制台，无需密码登录。

mysql -uroot mysql

然后:

UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD'), plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root' AND Host='localhost';
EXIT;

关闭MySQL。

sudo mysqladmin -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock shutdown

正常启动MySQL服务。

sudo service mysql start

在我的例子中，这个选项很有用:https://stackoverflow.com/a/49610152/13760371 谢谢你，拉胡尔。

除了下面的时刻，当我尝试输入命令:

UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD'), plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root' AND Host='%';

控制台发出警告:

1681 'password' is deprecated and will be removed in a future release

用这个命令治愈:

UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=CONCAT('*', UPPER(SHA1(UNHEX(SHA1('NEWPASSWORD'))))), plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root' AND Host='localhost';

MySQL版本5.7.X

我的版本:

1. > sudo service mysql stop
2. > sudo mkdir /var/run/mysqld
3. > sudo chown mysql: /var/run/mysqld
4. > sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &
5. > mysql -uroot mysql
6. > UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=CONCAT('*', UPPER(SHA1(UNHEX(SHA1('NEWPASSWORD'))))), plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root' AND Host='localhost';
7. > \q;
8. > sudo mysqladmin -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock shutdown
9. > sudo service mysql start

我还没有看到MySQL 8.0指南中推荐的官方步骤，这是唯一适合我的步骤。下面是这些步骤的总结。

Stop the MySQL server if it is running. Look in /var/lib/mysql/, /var/run/mysqld/, or /usr/local/mysql/data/ to find the pid file with the server's process ID. Generally the file begins with either mysqld or your system's host name and ends with .pid. Replace mysql-data-directory and host_name that you just found, in the following command: $ sudo kill `sudo cat /mysql-data-directory/host_name.pid` This command will create a text file in /tmp/mysql-init with the SQL statement and makes the mysql user the owner. Replace in the command MyNewPass with your own password. $ echo "ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass';" > /tmp/mysql-init && sudo chown mysql /tmp/mysql-init Start the MySQL server by running the following command on the command line. After this the password is updated and you can close the server again with CTRL+C. $ sudo mysqld --user=mysql --init-file=/tmp/mysql-init & Remove the temporary file with your password: $ sudo rm /tmp/mysql-init

停止MySQL Sudo service mysql stop 制作MySQL服务目录。 Sudo mkdir /var/run/mysqld 赋予MySQL用户写入服务目录的权限。 Sudo chown mysql: /var/run/mysqld 手动启动MySQL，不需要权限检查或联网。 Sudo mysqld_safe—skip-grant-tables—skip-networking &

5.无需密码登录。 Mysql -uroot Mysql

6.更新root用户密码。

更新mysql。user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD')， plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE user ='root' AND Host='%'; 退出;
