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;

唯一对我有效的方法是这里描述的(我运行的是ubuntu 14.04)。为了清晰起见，以下是我遵循的步骤:

sudo vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf Add the following lines at the end: [mysqld] skip-grant-tables sudo service mysql restart mysql -u root use mysql select * from mysql.user where user = 'root'; - Look at the top to determine whether the password column is called password or authentication_string UPDATE mysql.user set *password_field from above* = PASSWORD('your_new_password') where user = 'root' and host = 'localhost'; - Use the proper password column from above FLUSH PRIVILEGES; exit sudo vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf Remove the lines added in step 2 if you want to keep your security standards. sudo service mysql restart

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

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

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

对于mysql 5.6，这个命令有效，你可以通过向导设置密码:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.6

I had to go this route on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. It is somewhat of a mix of some of the other answers above - but none of them helped. I spent an hour or more trying all other suggestions from MySql website to everything on SO, I finally got it working with: Note: while it showed Enter password for user root, I didnt have the original password so I just entered the same password to be used as the new password. Note: there was no /var/log/mysqld.log only /var/log/mysql/error.log Also note this did not work for me: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.7 Nor did: sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force mysql-server-5.5 Make MySQL service directory. sudo mkdir /var/run/mysqld Give MySQL user permission to write to the service directory. sudo chown mysql: /var/run/mysqld Then:

kill the current mysqld pid run mysqld with sudo /usr/sbin/mysqld & run /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation Output from mysql_secure_installation root@myServer:~# /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation Securing the MySQL server deployment. Enter password for user root: VALIDATE PASSWORD PLUGIN can be used to test passwords and improve security. It checks the strength of password and allows the users to set only those passwords which are secure enough. Would you like to setup VALIDATE PASSWORD plugin? Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No: no Using existing password for root. Change the password for root ? ((Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y New password: Re-enter new password: By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a production environment. Remove anonymous users? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y Success. Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network. Disallow root login remotely? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y Success. By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed before moving into a production environment. Remove test database and access to it? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y Dropping test database... Success. Removing privileges on test database... Success. Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far will take effect immediately. Reload privilege tables now? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y Success. All done!
