我还没有看到MySQL 8.0指南中推荐的官方步骤，这是唯一适合我的步骤。下面是这些步骤的总结。

Stop the MySQL server if it is running. Look in /var/lib/mysql/, /var/run/mysqld/, or /usr/local/mysql/data/ to find the pid file with the server's process ID. Generally the file begins with either mysqld or your system's host name and ends with .pid. Replace mysql-data-directory and host_name that you just found, in the following command: $ sudo kill `sudo cat /mysql-data-directory/host_name.pid` This command will create a text file in /tmp/mysql-init with the SQL statement and makes the mysql user the owner. Replace in the command MyNewPass with your own password. $ echo "ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass';" > /tmp/mysql-init && sudo chown mysql /tmp/mysql-init Start the MySQL server by running the following command on the command line. After this the password is updated and you can close the server again with CTRL+C. $ sudo mysqld --user=mysql --init-file=/tmp/mysql-init & Remove the temporary file with your password: $ sudo rm /tmp/mysql-init

您可以使用该命令:

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpwd') WHERE User='root';

之后请冲洗:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

你不需要这些。只需登录:

Mysql -u root -p

然后按照mysql>提示修改当前用户的密码:

mysql> set password=password('the_new_password');
mysql> flush privileges;

这就是我的解决方案。我在Ubuntu 18.04工作: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46076838/2400373

但是重要的是最后一步的改变:

UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD'), plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root' AND Host='localhost'; 

如果部署在xampp上，您可以通过提供的phpadmin gui轻松更改mysql密码。

phpMyAdmin -> User Accounts -> Edit Privileges (Select the intended user) -> Change Password (Tab)
