restart MySQL server with --skip-grant-tables option And then set a new root password

$ mysql -u root
mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD("NEWPASSWORD") WHERE User='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit

Now if you need, you can update mysql.user table(field password_expired='N') not to expire the password.

WARNING  this will allow any user to login  I had to try something else  Since my root password expired and altering was not an option because   Column count of mysql user is wrong  Expected 45  found 46  The table is probably corrupted  temporarly adding skip-grant-tables under  mysqld  in my cnf and restarting mysql did the trick

Open MySQL console and type SET PASSWORD    your password    and then press ENTER Key which will set your defined password for user root   You can only write SET PASSWORD       which will set password as blank for root user

The password expiration is a new feature in MySQL 5 6 or 5 7   The answer is clear  Use a client which is capable of expired password changing  I think Sequel Pro can do it    MySQLi library obviously isnt able to change the expired password   If you have limited access to localhost and you only have a console client  the standard mysql client can do it

I went through the same issue recently while installing mysql on mac os x capitan  I did not find the correct answer here  so adding this answer   MySql in current versions  generates a temporary password when you install mysql  Use this password to set a new password using the mysqladmin utility as below       usr local mysql bin mysqladmin -u root -p  lt your temp password gt   password   lt your new password gt     Hope it helps you and others

i have faced this issue few days ago  For best solution for 5 7 version of MySQL  login your mysql console and alter your password with the following command   ALTER USER  root   localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  new password    root   localhost  PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER

So I finally found the solution myself   Firstly I went into terminal and typed   mysql -u root -p  This asked for my current password which I typed in and it gave me access to provide more mysql commands  Anything I tried from here gave this error   ERROR 1820  HY000   You must reset your password using ALTER USER statement before executing this statement   This is confusing because I couldn t actually see a way of resetting the password using ALTER USER statement  but I did find another simple solution   SET PASSWORD   PASSWORD  xxxxxxxx

MySQL password expiry  Resetting the password will only solve the problem temporarily  From MySQL 5 7 4 to 5 7 10  to encourage better security - see MySQL  Password Expiration Policy  the default default password lifetime variable value is 360  1 year-ish   For those versions  if you make no changes to this variable  or to individual user accounts  all passwords expire after 360 days   So from a script you might get the message   Your password has expired  To log in you must change it using a client that supports expired passwords    To stop automatic password expiry  log in as root  mysql -u root -p   then  for clients that automatically connect to the server  e g  scripts   change password expiration settings   ALTER USER  script   localhost  PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER   OR you can disable automatic password expiration for all users   SET GLOBAL default password lifetime   0   As pointed out by Mertaydin in the comments  to make this permanent add the following line to a my cnf file MySQL reads on startup  under the  mysqld  group of settings  The location of my cnf depends on your setup  e g  Windows  or Homebrew on OS X  or an installer   and whether you want this per-user on Unix or global    mysqld  default password lifetime   0  There may be other settings here too      See the MySQL docs on configuration files

mysqladmin -u  username  -p password worked for me on OS X El Capitan and MySQL 5 7 12 Community Server  Example       usr local mysql bin mysqladmin -u root -p password Enter password  New password  Confirm new password  Warning  Since password will be sent to server in plain text  use ssl connection to ensure password safety    This is similar to pavan sachi s answer  but with password prompts   My error was   1862 - Your password has expired  To log in you must change it using a client that supports expired passwords   at phpMyAdmin login screen first time

Just open MySQL Workbench and choose  Instance  Startup Shutdown and click on start server  It worked for me
