你不需要这些。只需登录:

Mysql -u root -p

然后按照mysql>提示修改当前用户的密码:

mysql> set password=password('the_new_password');
mysql> flush privileges;

您可以使用该命令:

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

之后请冲洗:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

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;

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

该任务指导用户在Ubuntu操作系统下设置/修改/重置MySQL root密码。在终端中输入以下行。

停止MySQL服务器:sudo /etc/init.d / mysql停止 (在某些情况下，如果/var/run/mysqld不存在，你必须首先创建它:sudo mkdir -v /var/run/mysqld && sudo chown mysql /var/run/mysqld 启动mysqld配置:sudo mysqld——skip-grant-tables & 以root身份登录MySQL: MySQL -u root MySQL 用你的新密码替换YOURNEWPASSWORD:

MySQL < 8.0

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD') WHERE User = 'root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

如果你的MySQL使用新的认证插件，你将需要使用:update user set plugin="mysql_native_password" where user ='root';在冲洗特权之前。

注意:在某些版本，如果密码列不存在，你可能想尝试: UPDATE user SET authentication_string=password('YOURNEWPASSWORD') WHERE user='root';

注意:这种方法不是最安全的重置密码的方法，但它是有效的。

对于MySQL >= 8.0

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOURNEWPASSWORD';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

最后一步:

正如@lambart的评论中所提到的，你可能需要杀死你启动的临时无密码mysql进程，即sudo killall -9 mysqld，然后启动正常的守护进程:sudo service mysql start

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。
