Reset MySQL root password using ALTER USER statement after install on Mac

Question

I m new to the whole Mac experience  I recently installed MySQL and it seems I have to reset the password after install  It won t let me do anything else   Now I already reset the password the usual way    update user set password   password  XXX   where user   root     BTW  took me ages to work out that MySQL for some bizarre reason has renamed the field  password  to  authentication string   I am quite upset about changes like that    Unfortunately it seems I need to change the password a different way that is unknown to me  Maybe someone here has already come across that problem

In mysql  5 7 x replication  this issue can happen because the on the slave user either the password is unmatched or the root user does not exists on master  For example in my case   I created an instance  altered password for the root and before replicating the slave  I dropped the root user  When I made the slave instance this alert appeared on the query   because I altered the password on master before dropping the root user  and slave was reading from the first log which was actually an alter root user statement  show slave status G  So there are 2 solutions that can be applied here   you can create root user on master host and slave host with same password you can run the query on master hostreset master   and reconnect slave to master
