要更新“root”Mysql用户密码，你必须记住，你将需要超级用户权限。如果您拥有超级用户权限，请尝试执行以下命令:

MySQL 5.7.6及以上版本

sudo su
service mysql stop
mysql -u root
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass';
\q;
exit
mysql -u root -p MyNewPass

MySQL 5.7.5及更早版本

sudo su
service mysql stop
mysql -u root
SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPass');
\q;
exit
mysql -u root -p MyNewPass

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

1.打开nano / vim，创建一个包含以下内容的文件，并将文件保存为~/mysql-pwd

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'NEWPASSWORD';

停止mysql sudo systemctl停止mysql 执行sudo mysqld -init-file=~/mysql-pwd命令 重启mysql sudo systemctl start mysql 现在登录mysql -u root -p。password将是你的NEWPASSWORD

如果你知道“root”用户密码，请使用该凭证登录mysql。然后执行以下查询以更新密码。

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_passowrd';

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
