1. If you in skip-grant-tables mode in mysqld_safe:
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=null WHERE User='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;
and then, in terminal:
$ mysql -u root
in mysql:
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'yourpasswd';
2. Not in skip-grant-tables mode just in mysql:
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'yourpasswd';ubuntu reset mysql root password
Set / change / reset the MySQL root password on Ubuntu Linux. Enter the following lines in your terminal.
Stop the MySQL Server: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
Start the mysqld configuration: sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables &
In some cases, you've to create the /var/run/mysqld first:
sudo mkdir -v /var/run/mysqld && sudo chown mysql /var/run/mysqld
Run: sudo service mysql start
Login to MySQL as root: mysql -u root mysql
Replace YOURNEWPASSWORD with your new password:
UPDATE
mysql.user
SET
Password = PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD')
WHERE
User = 'root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Note: on some versions, if password column doesn't exist, you may want to try:
UPDATE user SET authentication_string=password('YOURNEWPASSWORD') WHERE user='root';
Note: This method is not regarded as the most secure way of resetting the password, however, it works.mysql root password reset
Update: On 8.0.15 (maybe already before that version) the PASSWORD() function does not work You have to do:
Make sure you have Stopped MySQL first (above).
Run the server in safe mode with privilege bypass: sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
mysql -u root
UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=null WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Then
mysql -u root
