如果其他答案都不适合您，并且您收到了以下错误:

mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/log/mysql/error.log'.
mysqld_safe Directory '/var/run/mysqld' for UNIX socket file don't exists.
[1]+  Exit 1                  sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables

按照以下命令依次执行，直到重置密码:

# Stop your server first
sudo service mysql stop

# Make the MySQL service directory.
sudo mkdir /var/run/mysqld

# Give MySQL permission to work with the created directory
sudo chown mysql: /var/run/mysqld

# Start MySQL, without permission and network checking
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &

# Log in to your server without any password.
mysql -u root mysql


# Update the password for the root user:
UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('YourNewPasswordBuddy'), plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root' AND Host='localhost';

# If you omit (AND Host='localhost') section, it updates
# the root password regardless of its host

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

# Kill the mysqld_safe process
sudo service mysql restart

# Now you can use your new password to log in to your server
mysql -u root -p

# Take note for remote access. You should create a remote
# user and then grant all privileges to that remote user

我尝试了Lahiru的正确答案，但它不能与macOS v10.14 (Mojave)上的MySQL服务器版本8.0.16 (Community)一起工作。

我遵循Sameer Choudhary的指示，并进行了一些调整，我能够更改根密码，并从本地主机启用根访问。

所有这些都不是必需的。如果您正在使用Homebrew在Mac OS上安装:

brew install mysql

如果问题仍然存在，请尝试强制修改密码。

停止MySQL服务器(Linux):

/etc/init.d/mysql stop

停止MySQL服务器(Mac OS X):

mysql.server stop

使用——skip-grant-tables启动mysqld_safe守护进程:

mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
mysql -u root

设置新的MySQL root用户密码:

use mysql;
update user set password=PASSWORD("NEW-ROOT-PASSWORD") where User='root';
flush privileges;
quit;

停止MySQL服务器(Linux):

/etc/init.d/mysql stop

停止MySQL服务器(Mac OS X):

mysql.server stop

启动MySQL服务器服务，测试以root用户登录:

mysql -u root -p

在Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus)和MySQL 5.7.13版本中，我能够通过以下步骤解决这个问题:

Follow the instructions from section B.5.3.2.2 Resetting the Root Password: Unix and Unix-Like Systems MySQL 5.7 reference manual When I tried #sudo mysqld_safe --init-file=/home/me/mysql-init & it failed. The error was in /var/log/mysql/error.log: 2016-08-10T11:41:20.421946Z 0 [Note] Execution of init_file '/home/me/mysql/mysql-init' started. 2016-08-10T11:41:20.422070Z 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: File '/home/me/mysql/mysql-init' not found (Errcode: 13 - Permission denied) 2016-08-10T11:41:20.422096Z 0 [ERROR] Aborting

mysql-init的文件权限不是问题。我们需要编辑AppArmor权限。

Edit by sudo vi /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld .... /var/log/mysql/ r, /var/log/mysql/** rw, # Allow user init file /home/pranab/mysql/* r, # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details. #include <local/usr.sbin.mysqld> } Do sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload Start mysqld_safe again. Try step 2 above. Check file /var/log/mysql/error.log. Make sure there is no error and the mysqld is successfully started. Run mysql -u root -p Enter password: Enter the password that you specified in mysql-init. You should be able to log in as root now. Shutdown mysqld_safe by sudo mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown Start mysqld the normal way by sudo systemctl start mysql

我在Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) LTS和MySQL服务器版本5.7.27-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (Ubuntu)时遇到了这个问题。

我的解决方案是(以root身份运行sudo -i):

mysql <<-EOSQL
  use mysql;
  update user set plugin="mysql_native_password" where User='root';
  FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EOSQL

mysqladmin -u root password new_pw
