如果你想修改MySQL root密码，在终端输入:

Sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5

MySQL守护进程将被停止，并提示您输入新密码。

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。

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!

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

如果部署在xampp上，您可以通过提供的phpadmin gui轻松更改mysql密码。

phpMyAdmin -> User Accounts -> Edit Privileges (Select the intended user) -> Change Password (Tab)

该解决方案属于以前版本的MySQL。 通过使用套接字身份验证登录MySQL，您可以做到这一点。

sudo mysql -u root

然后可以运行以下命令。

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