修复macOS

Install MySQL from https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/community/ (8.x is the latest as on date, but ensure that the version is compatible with the macOS version) Give password for root (let <root-password> be the password) during installation (don't forget to remember the password!) Select Use Legacy Password Encryption option (that is what I had used and did not try for Use Strong Password Encryption option) Search and open MySQL.prefPane (use search tool) Select Configuration tab Click Select option of Configuration File Select /private/etc/my.cnf From terminal open a new or existing file with name /etc/my.cnf (vi /etc/my.cnf) add the following content: [mysqld] skip-grant-tables Restart mysqld as follows: ps aux | grep mysql kill -9 <pid1> <pid2> ... (grab pids of all MySQL related processes) mysqld gets restarted automatically Verify that the option is set by running the following from terminal: ps aux | grep mysql > mysql/bin/mysqld ... --defaults-file=/private/etc/my.cnf ... (output) Run the following command to connect (let mysql-<version>-macos<version>-x86_64 be the folder where MySQL is installed. To grab the actual folder, run ls /usr/local/ and copy the folder name): /usr/local/mysql-<version>-macos<version>-x86_64/bin/mysql -uroot -p<root-password>

在尝试了所有其他答案后，这是最后对我有用的:

sudo mysql -- It does not ask me for any password

-- Then in MariaDB/MySQL console:
update mysql.user set plugin = 'mysql_native_password' where User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

我发现答案在博客文章解决:错误“访问拒绝用户' root ' @ ' localhost '”的MySQL - codementor。科技(媒介)。

在设置mysql-8 zip版本时，我得到了同样的错误。最后，切换到无缝工作的安装版本。在安装过程中，会提示设置root密码。一旦设置好，它就一定能工作。

对于新Linux用户来说，这可能是一项艰巨的任务。让我用MySQL 8更新这个(目前可用的最新版本是8.0.12，截至2018-09-12)

Open "mysqld.cnf" configuration file at "/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/". Add skip-grant-tables to the next line of [mysql] text and save. Restart the MySQL service as "sudo service mysql restart". Now your MySQL is free of any authentication. Connect to the MySQL client (also known as mysql-shell) as mysql -u root -p. There is no password to be keyed in as of now. Run SQL command flush privileges; Reset the password now as ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPassword'; Now let's get back to the normal state; remove that line "skip-grant-tables" from "mysqld.cnf" and restart the service.

就是这样。

打开并编辑/etc/my.cnf或/etc/mysql/my.cnf，具体取决于你的发行版。 在[mysqld]下添加skip-grant-tables 重新启动MySQL 你现在应该可以使用下面的命令MySQL -u root -p登录MySQL 运行mysql> flush特权; 设置新密码ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED by 'NewPassword' 回到/etc/my.cnf，删除/comment skip-grant-tables 重新启动MySQL 现在你可以用新密码mysql -u root -p登录了
