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。

根据MariaDB官方文档，在MariaDB 10.4.3及以后版本中，默认安装了unix_socket身份验证插件。

为了禁用它，并恢复到前面的mysql_native_password认证方法，在my.cnf文件的[mysqld]部分中添加下面的行:

[mysqld]
unix_socket=OFF

然后运行:

mysql_install_db --auth-root-authentication-method=normal

然后启动mysqld

这个命令可以正常工作:

mysqladmin -u root password CHANGEME

有关更多信息，请参见配置mysql_install_db恢复到以前的身份验证方法。

啊，对我来说什么都没用!我有一台运行MariaDB 5.5.64的CentOS 7.4机器。

我必须这么做，在YUM安装MariaDB之后;

systemctl restart mariadb
mysql_secure_installation

mysql_secure_installation将带您完成许多步骤，包括“设置根密码?”[Y / n]”。只要输入“y”并输入密码。随你怎么回答其他问题。

然后你可以用你的密码，使用

mysql -u root -p

它会存活下来

systemctl restart mariadb

的关键

然后，我检查了/bin/mysql_secure_installation源代码，看看它是如何神奇地改变根密码的，而这里的其他答案都不能。导入位是:

do_query "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('$esc_pass') WHERE User='root';"

.．.上面写着SET Password=…而不是SET authentication_string = PASSWORD....因此，本版本(5.5.64)的正确步骤是:

使用mysql -u root -p登录，使用您已经设置的密码。

或者，停止数据库并启动它:

mysql_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &

从mysql>提示符:

use mysql;
select host,user,password from user where user = 'root';
(observe your existing passwords for root).
UPDATE mysql.user set Password = PASSWORD('your_new_cleartext_password') where user = 'root' AND host = 'localhost';
select host,user,password from user where user = 'root';
flush privileges;
quit;

停止运行mysqld_safe。重启MariaDB。以root用户登录:mysql -u -p。请使用新密码。

如果您愿意，您可以一次设置所有的根密码。我认为这是明智的:

mysql -u root -p

(login)
use mysql;
select host,user,password from user where user = 'root';
UPDATE mysql.user set Password = PASSWORD('your_new_cleartext_password') where user = 'root';
select host,user,password from user where user = 'root';
flush privileges;
quit;

这将执行更新所有的根密码:即，“localhost”，“127.0.0.1”，和“::1”

将来，当我去RHEL 8或其他什么时候，我会试着记得检查/bin/mysql_secure_installation，看看那些家伙是怎么做的，谁是为这个操作系统配置MariaDB的人。

对于Ubuntu/Debian用户

(它可能适用于其他发行版，尤其是基于debian的发行版。)

运行以下命令以root身份连接(不需要任何密码)

sudo /usr/bin/mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf

如果你不想每次以根用户连接时都添加——defaults-file，你可以将/etc/mysql/debian.cnf复制到你的主目录:

sudo cp /etc/mysql/debian.cnf ~/.my.cnf

然后:

sudo mysql
