回应rogerdpack的评论:如果你不知道MySQL的根密码，并且你不关心MySQL的数据/设置，你可以重新安装它并重置根密码，如下所示:

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server mysql-client 

安装过程中，您可以选择root用户的密码:

对于Ubuntu 18.04和mysql版本14.14,Distrib 5.7.22，请按照以下步骤重置mysql密码。

步骤1

sudo systemctl stop mysql

步骤2

sudo systemctl edit mysql

这个命令将在nano编辑器中打开一个新文件，您将使用该文件编辑MySQL的服务覆盖。这些更改MySQL的默认服务参数。该文件将为空，因此添加以下内容:

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/mysqld --daemonize --pid-file=/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking

步骤3

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start mysql

步骤4

sudo mysql -u root

步骤5

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

步骤6

UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string = PASSWORD('new_password') WHEREuser = 'root';

步骤7

UPDATE mysql.user SET plugin ='mysql_native_password' WHERE user = 'root';

步骤8

sudo systemctl revert mysql

最后

sudo systemctl restart mysql

现在享受

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

下面的步骤对我很有效。我使用MySQL 8。*在Ubuntu上

停止MySQL服务，检查状态确认服务已停止

Sudo systemctl停止mysql Sudo systemctl status mysql

编辑systemd配置文件，这样您就可以在没有权限检查的情况下访问MySQL Sudo systemctl编辑mysql 复制并粘贴以下3行

(服务) ExecStart = ExecStart=/usr/sbin/mysqld——skip-grant-tables——skip-networking

粘贴行后按CTRL+0保存，然后按CTRL+X退出

重新加载mysql服务并启动它(使用——skip-grant-table启动服务)

Sudo systemctl daemon-reload Sudo systemctl启动mysql

5.现在无需密码即可连接MySQL服务器

sudo mysql -u root

6.通过运行加载授权表

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

重置root密码

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'YourPasswordHere';

关闭mysql连接

mysql >退出

恢复对mysql systemd文件所做的修改

Sudo systemctl恢复mysql

重新加载mysql守护进程以进行更改。

Sudo systemctl daemon-reload

最后重新启动MySQL服务

Sudo systemctl restart mysql

现在用第7步设置的新密码连接mysql

你可以访问这个链接重置mysql 8的根密码了解更多细节。

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.

我遇到ubuntu 18.04和mysql 5.7的问题，这是解决方案

执行命令前请尝试重新启动mysql-server

sudo service mysql restart

Mysql-server >= 5.7

sudo mysql -uroot -p
USE mysql;
UPDATE user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('YOUR_PASSWORD') WHERE User='root';
UPDATE user SET plugin="mysql_native_password";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit;

Mysql-server < 5.7

sudo mysql -uroot -p
USE mysql;
UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD('YOUR_PASSWORD') WHERE User='root';
UPDATE user SET plugin="mysql_native_password";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit;
