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

有关更多信息，请参见配置mysql_install_db恢复到以前的身份验证方法。

我找到的所有解决方案都比必要的要复杂得多，没有一个适合我。这是解决我问题的办法。不需要重新启动mysqld或使用特殊权限启动它。

sudo mysql

-- for MySQL
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'root';

-- for MariaDB
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password USING PASSWORD('root');

通过一个查询，我们将auth_plugin更改为mysql_native_password，并将根密码设置为root(可以在查询中随意更改)。

现在您应该可以使用root登录了。更多信息可以在MySQL文档或MariaDB文档中找到。

(使用Ctrl + D或输入Exit退出MySQL控制台。)

在Arch Linux上

软件包:mysql 8.0.29-1

对我有用的是:

Edit my.cnf file, normally can be found at /etc/mysql/my.cnf and append this skip-grant-tables at the bottom/end of the file. Restart mysql service by invoking sudo systemctl restart mysqld Ensuring mysql service has started properly by invoking sudo systemctl status mysqld Login to mysql using 'root' by invoking mysql -u root -p Flush privileges by invoking flush privileges; Create new user by CREATE USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'rootpassword'; (If you plan to use this db with PHP), you should instead use this CREATE USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'rootpassword'; Check whether your changes have reflected in db by invoking the following in sequence: use mysql; SELECT User, password_last_changed FROM user; Exit mysql console and comment/remove skip-grant-tables by editing my.cnf file (Refer to step 1 for the location) Restart the mysql service (Refer to step 2 and step 3)

就这些。

在尝试了所有其他答案后，这是最后对我有用的:

sudo mysql -- It does not ask me for any password

-- Then in MariaDB/MySQL console:
update mysql.user set plugin = 'mysql_native_password' where User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

我发现答案在博客文章解决:错误“访问拒绝用户' root ' @ ' localhost '”的MySQL - codementor。科技(媒介)。

我在这里的位置:

UBUNTU 21.04 PHP 5.6.40-57 MYSQL 5.7.37

我们来配置一下

nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

在底部，写下这个

skip-grant-tables

重新加载它

service mysql restart

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>
