当您的密码丢失时就会发生这种情况。

忘记密码时的修改步骤:

Stop MySQL Server (on Linux): sudo systemctl stop mysql Start the database without loading the grant tables or enabling networking: sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking & The ampersand at the end of this command will make this process run in the background, so you can continue to use your terminal and run mysql -u root (as root). It will not ask for a password. If you get error like as below: 2018-02-12T08:57:39.826071Z mysqld_safe Directory '/var/run/mysqld' for UNIX socket file don't exists. mysql -u root ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [1]+ Exit 1 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 Run the same command in step 2 to run MySQL in background. Run mysql -u root. You will get the MySQL console without entering a password. Run these commands FLUSH PRIVILEGES; For MySQL 5.7.6 and newer ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password'; For MySQL 5.7.5 and older SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('new_password'); If the ALTER USER command doesn't work use: UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string = PASSWORD('new_password') WHERE User = 'root' AND Host = 'localhost'; Now exit To stop the instance started manually: sudo kill `cat /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid` Restart MySQL sudo systemctl start mysql

请阅读官方文档:MySQL:如何重置Root密码

如果您可以访问终端:

MySQL 5.7.6及以上版本:

mysql

mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass';

MySQL 5.7.5及以前版本:

mysql

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPass');

在终端输入:

mysql -u root -p

然后它会问你密码。

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

答案可能听起来很傻，但在浪费了几个小时的时间后，我是这样做到的:

mysql -u root -p

我收到了错误信息

错误1045(28000):拒绝访问用户'root'@'localhost'(使用密码:YES)

尽管我输入了正确的密码(你第一次安装MySQL时得到的临时密码)。

当密码提示闪烁时，我输入了密码。

在最近的MySQL版本中，MySQL中没有任何密码。用户表。

所以你需要执行ALTER USER。将这一行命令放入文件中。

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

并以init文件的形式执行(以root或mysql用户):

mysqld_safe --init-file=/home/me/mysql-init &

MySQL服务器需要停止才能启动mysqld_safe。

另外，加载这个init文件的AppArmor权限可能也有问题。阅读更多在AppArmor和MySQL。
