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。

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

根据我的经验，如果你没有sudo，它是行不通的。所以确保你的命令是;

sudo mysql -uroot -p

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。

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>

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。
