该解决方案属于以前版本的MySQL。 通过使用套接字身份验证登录MySQL，您可以做到这一点。

sudo mysql -u root

然后可以运行以下命令。

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

详情请点击这里。

正如mysql文档中password()函数所说:

此函数在MySQL 8.0.11中被移除。

这将使mysql v8.0.11及更新版本的所有现有答案都失效。

根据mysql文档，重置root密码的新通用方法如下:

The preceding sections provide password-resetting instructions specifically for Windows and Unix and Unix-like systems. Alternatively, on any platform, you can reset the password using the mysql client (but this approach is less secure): Stop the MySQL server if necessary, then restart it with the --skip-grant-tables option. This enables anyone to connect without a password and with all privileges, and disables account-management statements such as ALTER USER and SET PASSWORD. Because this is insecure, if the server is started with the --skip-grant-tables option, it enables --skip-networking automatically to prevent remote connections. Connect to the MySQL server using the mysql client; no password is necessary because the server was started with --skip-grant-tables: shell> mysql In the mysql client, tell the server to reload the grant tables so that account-management statements work: mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Then change the 'root'@'localhost' account password. Replace the password with the password that you want to use. To change the password for a root account with a different host name part, modify the instructions to use that host name. mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass'; You should now be able to connect to the MySQL server as root using the new password. Stop the server and restart it normally (without the --skip-grant-tables and --skip-networking options).

对于Ubuntu 18.04和mysql版本14.14,Distrib 5.7.22，请按照以下步骤重置mysql密码。

步骤1

sudo systemctl stop mysql

步骤2

sudo systemctl edit mysql

这个命令将在nano编辑器中打开一个新文件，您将使用该文件编辑MySQL的服务覆盖。这些更改MySQL的默认服务参数。该文件将为空，因此添加以下内容:

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/mysqld --daemonize --pid-file=/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking

步骤3

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start mysql

步骤4

sudo mysql -u root

步骤5

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

步骤6

UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string = PASSWORD('new_password') WHEREuser = 'root';

步骤7

UPDATE mysql.user SET plugin ='mysql_native_password' WHERE user = 'root';

步骤8

sudo systemctl revert mysql

最后

sudo systemctl restart mysql

现在享受

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)

我遇到ubuntu 18.04和mysql 5.7的问题，这是解决方案

执行命令前请尝试重新启动mysql-server

sudo service mysql restart

Mysql-server >= 5.7

sudo mysql -uroot -p
USE mysql;
UPDATE user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('YOUR_PASSWORD') WHERE User='root';
UPDATE user SET plugin="mysql_native_password";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit;

Mysql-server < 5.7

sudo mysql -uroot -p
USE mysql;
UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD('YOUR_PASSWORD') WHERE User='root';
UPDATE user SET plugin="mysql_native_password";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit;

对我有用的(Ubuntu 16.04, mysql 5.7):

停止MySQL

sudo service mysql stop

制作MySQL服务目录。

sudo mkdir /var/run/mysqld

赋予MySQL用户写入服务目录的权限。

sudo chown mysql: /var/run/mysqld

手动启动MySQL，不需要权限检查或联网。

sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &

在另一个控制台，无需密码登录。

mysql -uroot mysql

然后:

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

关闭MySQL。

sudo mysqladmin -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock shutdown

正常启动MySQL服务。

sudo service mysql start
