User · Answer

At the initial start up of the server the following happens, given that the data directory of the server is empty:

The server is initialized.
SSL certificate and key files are generated in the data directory.
The validate_password plugin is installed and enabled.
The superuser account 'root'@'localhost' is created. The password for the superuser is set and stored in the error log file.

To reveal it, use the following command:

shell> sudo grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log

Change the root password as soon as possible by logging in with the generated temporary password and set a custom password for the superuser account:

shell> mysql -u root -p #Login to root user with some password

mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass5!';

On Mac  If you have a problem in logging in with the first password you were given in installation  maybe you can just simply kill the mysql process and then try    So  1- run the following command to find the PID of mysql   ps -aef   grep mysql   grep -v grep   2- kill the process   kill -15  process id     Then you can login with the initial password using this command   mysql -uroot -p   Which ask you to enter your password  Just enter the initial password

The answer may sound silly  but after wasting hours of time  this is how I got it to work  mysql -u root -p   I got the error message  ERROR 1045  28000   Access denied for user  root   localhost   using password  YES    Even though I was typing the correct password the temporary password you get when you first install mysql   I got it right when I typed in the password when the password prompt was blinking

I know this an old Question but i feel this might help someone  I was recently faced with the same problem but in my case  i remember my password quite alright but it kept on giving me the same error  I tried so many solutions but still none helped then i tried this   mysql -u root -p    after which it asks you for a pass word like this  Enter password     and then i typed in the password i used  That s all

I had a similar issue      ERROR 1045  28000   Access denied for user  root   localhost   using   password  NO    But in my case  the cause was really silly  I copied the command from a Word document  and the problem was that an hyphen did not have the ASCII 2D code but the Unicode E28093   Wrong way   mysql -u root    pxxxx   Right way   mysql -u root -pxxxx   Both look the same but aren t the same  try it  copy and paste replacing your password    Faced with this type of error  the recommendation is to try typing the command instead of copying and pasting

If you have MySQL as part of a Docker image  say on port 6606  and an Ubuntu install  on port 3306  specifying the port is not enough   mysql -u root -p -P 6606   will throw   ERROR 1045  28000   Access denied for user  root   localhost   using password  YES    as it s trying to connect to localhost by default  specifying your local IP fixes the issue   mysql -u root -p -P 6606 -h 127 0 0 1

I came across this very annoying problem and found many answers that did not work  The best solution I came across was to completely uninstall mysql and re-install it  On re-install you set a root password and this fixed the problem    sudo apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server-core-5 5 mysql-client-core-5 5 sudo rm -rf  etc mysql  var lib mysql sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get autoclean   I found this code elsewhere so I take no credit for it  But it works  To install mysql after uninstalling it I think digital ocean has a good tutorial on it  Checkout my gist for this   https   gist github com JamesDaniel c02ef210c17c1dec82fc973cac484096

If you haven t set password yet  then run mysql -uroot  it works for me

In recent MySQL versions there is no password in mysql user table   So you need to execute ALTER USER  Put this one line command into the file    ALTER USER  root   localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  MyNewPass     And execute it as init file  as root or mysql user   mysqld safe --init-file  home me mysql-init  amp    MySQL server need to be stopped to start mysqld safe    Also  there may be a problem with apparmor permissions to load this init  file  Read more here  https   blogs oracle com jsmyth entry apparmor and mysql

For those whom the current answers didn t work can try this   Tested on mac os  mysql -h localhost -u root -p --protocol TCP  After this a password will be asked from you and you should use your OS user password  then when you got into MySQL you can run  select Host  User from mysql user   and you should see MySQL   none   gt  select Host  User from mysql user   ----------- ------------------    Host        User                ----------- ------------------    localhost   mysql infoschema     localhost   mysql session        localhost   mysql sys            localhost   root                ----------- ------------------   and from here you can change the configurations and edit the password or modify the grants

While the top answer  w  mysqladmin  worked on mac 10 15  then it did not work on ubuntu   Then tried many of the other options including safe start for mysql  none worked   Thus adding a new response   At least for the version I got 5 7 28-0ubuntu0 18 04 4 answers were lacking IDENTIFIED WITH mysql native password   5 7 28 is the default on the current LTS and thus should be the default for most new new systems  till 20 04 LTS comes out    Found   https   www digitalocean com community questions can-t-set-root-password-mysql-server and now applied      ALTER USER  root   localhost  IDENTIFIED WITH mysql native password   BY  your pass here     which does work

Am using Ubuntu-16 04   installed mysql - 5 7  I Had the same issue   Login denied for root user   Tried the below steps    dpkg --get-selections   grep mysql  to get the version of mysql   dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5 7 mysql -u root -p   Without -p that doesn t prompt you to ask password  Once you are in  you can create a user with a password by following steps    CREATE USER  your new username   your-hostname  IDENTIFIED BY  your-password    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON     to  your new username   your-hostname  WITH GRANT OPTION    Exit from the root and login from the  you gave above   mysql -u  lt your new username gt  -p   For some reason still just typing mysql does not work  AT ALL  I suggest to make it a habit to use mysql -u  lt name gt  -p

Note  For MySQL 5 7  please see answer from  Lahiru to this question   That contains more current information   For MySQL  lt  5 7   The default root password is blank  i e  empty string  not root  So you can just login as   mysql -u root   You should obviously change your root password after installation  mysqladmin -u root password  newpassword    In most cases you should also set up individual user accounts before working extensively with the DB as well

In my case I was trying to pass a shell command to a container  In which case only the first word was interpreted  Ensure that you re not running   mysql   as opposed to   mysql -uroot -ppassword schemaname   perhaps try quoting    mysql -uroot -ppassword schemaname

I am using mysql-5 7 12-osx10 11-x86 64 dmg in Mac OSX  The installation process automatically sets up a temporary password for root user  You should save the password  The password can not be recovered    Follow the instruction   Go to cd  usr local mysql bin  Enter the temporary password  which would look something like   tsO07JF1  3   You should get mysql  prompt   Run  SET PASSWORD FOR  root   localhost    PASSWORD   YOUR PASSWORD     If you wish to set your password   root  then the command would be  SET PASSWORD FOR  root   localhost    PASSWORD  root    Run ALTER USER  root   localhost  PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER  Run exit Run   mysql -u root -p Type your password  In my case I would type   root   without quote  That s all     For convenience  you should add   usr local mysql bin  to your PATH  Now from anywhere you can type   mysql -u root -p and then type the password and you will get mysql  prompt    Hope it helps
