关于这个话题的大多数答案都过时了;在写这个答案之前，MySQL发生了两个主要的变化:

1-用户表中的“Password”字段已被“authentication_string”列取代。

2-“Password”加密功能:Password(“of some text”)已弃用。

更多信息请参考此链接:dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/resetting-permissions.html

正如mysql文档中password()函数所说:

此函数在MySQL 8.0.11中被移除。

这将使mysql v8.0.11及更新版本的所有现有答案都失效。

根据mysql文档，重置root密码的新通用方法如下:

The preceding sections provide password-resetting instructions specifically for Windows and Unix and Unix-like systems. Alternatively, on any platform, you can reset the password using the mysql client (but this approach is less secure): Stop the MySQL server if necessary, then restart it with the --skip-grant-tables option. This enables anyone to connect without a password and with all privileges, and disables account-management statements such as ALTER USER and SET PASSWORD. Because this is insecure, if the server is started with the --skip-grant-tables option, it enables --skip-networking automatically to prevent remote connections. Connect to the MySQL server using the mysql client; no password is necessary because the server was started with --skip-grant-tables: shell> mysql In the mysql client, tell the server to reload the grant tables so that account-management statements work: mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Then change the 'root'@'localhost' account password. Replace the password with the password that you want to use. To change the password for a root account with a different host name part, modify the instructions to use that host name. mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass'; You should now be able to connect to the MySQL server as root using the new password. Stop the server and restart it normally (without the --skip-grant-tables and --skip-networking options).

你可以尝试以下步骤来重置mysql的root密码:

首先停止Mysql服务

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop 

以root用户登录，不需要密码 Sudo mysqld_safe—skip-grant-tables &

登录mysql终端后，你需要执行更多的命令:

use mysql;




UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('solutionclub3@*^G'), plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root';


flush privileges;


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

重启mysql服务器后 如果你仍然面临错误，你必须访问: 重置MySQL的root密码

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

修改MySQL root密码。用更简单的方式

所有这些命令都应该以root用户身份运行。

使用旧密码登录MySQL命令行工具:

步骤1

mysql -uroot -p"your_old_password"

然后执行以下命令:

步骤2

SET PASSWORD FOR root@'localhost' = PASSWORD('your_new_password');

方法-2(使用上述命令首次使用旧密码登录)

为当前用户设置密码:

SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_new_password');

以上命令用于当前用户。如果您要更改其他用户的密码，可以输入用户名而不是“root”。

我分享一步一步的最终解决方案，重置MySQL密码在Linux Ubuntu。

参考来自博客(dbrnd.com)

步骤1: 停止MySQL服务。

sudo stop mysql

步骤2: 关闭所有运行mysqld。

sudo killall -9 mysqld

步骤3: 以安全模式启动mysqld。

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

步骤4: 启动mysql客户端

mysql -u root

步骤5: 登录成功后，如果需要修改密码，请执行该命令。

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

步骤6: 您可以更新mysql root密码。

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

注意:在MySQL 5.7中，Password列被称为authentication_string。

第七步: 请执行该命令。

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
