How to Reset a MySQL root password

The MySQL root password allows the root user to have full access to the MySQL database. You must have (Linux) root or (Windows) administrator access to the Cloud Server to reset the MySQL root password.


(A.) Reset a MySQL root password command line :-

Step (1.) Stop the MySQL service
(Ubuntu and Debian) Run the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld stop

Step (2.) Start MySQL without a password
Run the following command. The ampersand (&) at the end of the command is required

sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

Step (3.) Connect to MySQL
Run the following command:


mysql -uroot


Step (4.) Set a new MySQL root password
Run the following command:

use mysql; update user set password = PASSWORD ("newpassword") where User='root'; 

flush privileges; 

quit


Error : - ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

I also tried to start with mysql_safe (error.log is empty)
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables

Output : 2017-02-01T16:33:31.382105Z mysqld_safe Logging to syslog. 2017-02-01T16:33:31.383942Z mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/log/mysql/error.log'. 2017-02-01T16:33:31.386058Z mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/log/mysql/error.log'. 2017-02-01T16:33:31.388009Z mysqld_safe Directory '/var/run/mysqld' for UNIX socket file don't exists.

Entertainer  MySQL process kill & stop 

$ sudo service mysql stop 

$ killall mysqld_safe

$ killall mysqld 



$ ps aux|grep mysql


$ kill -9  port 

After Step 1 process to  be follow step by step and don't execute command line in  flush privileges;  error can be a show #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)


(B.) Change MySQL root password command line :-
Step (1.) Log in locally to your MySQL server as the root user. You can do this by typing the following command:

$ mysql -u root -p <root-password>

Step(2.) you can access the MySQL server from another Linux server,


mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'Root@123'

Error : - /* you will got an error like this: ERROR 1819 (HY000): Your password does not satisfy the current policy requirements */


mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'validate_password%';

/* validate_password_policy | MEDIUM

* The default level is MEDIUM, we can change it to LOW, which will only check the password's length(min: 8 chars).
*/


mysql > SET GLOBAL validate_password_policy=LOW;

/*mysql change password command*/

mysql > ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '<new password>'
