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。

之前的答案都没有帮助我解决这个问题，所以这里是我找到的解决方案。

In Ubuntu systems running MySQL 5.7 (and later versions), the root MySQL user is set to authenticate using the auth_socket plugin by default rather than with a password. This allows for some greater security and usability in many cases, but it can also complicate things when you need to allow an external program (e.g., phpMyAdmin) to access the user. In order to use a password to connect to MySQL as root, you will need to switch its authentication method from auth_socket to mysql_native_password. To do this, open up the MySQL prompt from your terminal: sudo mysql Next, check which authentication method each of your MySQL user accounts use with the following command: SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user; Output +------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+ | user | authentication_string | plugin | host | +------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+ | root | | auth_socket | localhost | | mysql.session | *THISISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDHERE | mysql_native_password | localhost | | mysql.sys | *THISISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDHERE | mysql_native_password | localhost | | debian-sys-maint | *CC744277A401A7D25BE1CA89AFF17BF607F876FF | mysql_native_password | localhost | +------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) In this example, you can see that the root user does in fact authenticate using the auth_socket plugin. To configure the root account to authenticate with a password, run the following ALTER USER command. Be sure to change password to a strong password of your choosing, and note that this command will change the root password you set in Step 2: ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password'; Then, run FLUSH PRIVILEGES which tells the server to reload the grant tables and put your new changes into effect: FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Check the authentication methods employed by each of your users again to confirm that root no longer authenticates using the auth_socket plugin: SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user; Output +------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+ | user | authentication_string | plugin | host | +------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+ | root | *3636DACC8616D997782ADD0839F92C1571D6D78F | mysql_native_password | localhost | | mysql.session | *THISISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDHERE | mysql_native_password | localhost | | mysql.sys | *THISISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDHERE | mysql_native_password | localhost | | debian-sys-maint | *CC744277A401A7D25BE1CA89AFF17BF607F876FF | mysql_native_password | localhost | +------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) You can see in this example output that the root MySQL user now authenticates using a password. Once you confirm this on your own server, you can exit the MySQL shell: exit

如果你像我一样，在前面的答案中所有的信息都失败了，继续卸载你机器上的所有版本的MySQL，使用命令sudo find / name " MySQL "和rm -rf每个附加" MySQL "名称的文件或目录(你应该跳过与编程语言库相关的文件)搜索所有剩余的MySQL文件。

现在安装一个新版本的MySQL，开始享受吧。注:你将失去所有的数据，所以先权衡你的选择。

我这样做是为了在OS x中MySQL的初始设置中设置我的根密码。

sudo sh -c 'echo /usr/local/mysql/bin > /etc/paths.d/mysql'

关闭终端并打开一个新终端。

在Linux中，可以使用以下方法设置根密码。

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables

(sudo mysqld_safe——skip-grant-tables:第一次对我不起作用。但在第二次尝试时，成功了。)

然后登录MySQL:

mysql -u root

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

现在修改密码:

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

重新启动MySQL:

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

窗口:

cd \ampps\mysql\bin ：

mysql.exe -u root -pmysql

mysql启动后(可以看到shell是这样的mysql>) 使用这个查询:

 ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'root';

请再次使用root访问

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
