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

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

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。

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

'-p'参数不要求参数名和值之间有空格。

而不是

./mysqladmin -u root -p 'redacted'

Use

./mysqladmin -u root -p'redacted'

或者只是

./mysqladmin -u root -p

这将提示您输入密码。

在你的MySQL Workbench中，你可以到左边的侧边栏，在Management下选择“Users and Privileges”，在User Accounts下点击root，在右边的部分点击tab“Account Limits”增加最大查询，更新等，然后点击tab“Administrative Roles”，勾选复选框赋予该帐户访问权限。
