MySQL 8.0 以上版本重置 root 用户密码的终极办法

1. 在 /etc/my.cnf 文件末尾追加 skip-grant-tables

 [root@abdefg mysql]# vim /etc/my.cnf
 [mysql]
 # 设置mysql客户端默认字符集
 default-character-set=utf8mb4 
 
 [mysqld]
 # 设置3306端口
 port = 3306 
 # 设置mysql的安装目录
 basedir=/usr/local/mysql
 # 设置mysql数据库的数据的存放目录
 datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data
 # 允许最大连接数
 max_connections=200
 # 服务端默认编码（数据库级别）
 character-set-server=utf8mb4
 # 创建新表时将使用的默认存储引擎
 default-storage-engine=INNODB 
 lower_case_table_names=1
 max_allowed_packet=16M
 
 skip-grant-tables

2.重启MySQL服务

service mysqld restart

3.免密码登录 root 用户（输入密码时直接回车即可）

[root@abdefg bin]# mysql -uroot -p
 Enter password:

 mysql>

4.重置密码

mysql> use mysql
mysql> select host, user, authentication_string, plugin from user;

注意：先执行flush privileges;然后会alter成功，要不然会alter失败

mysql> alter user 'root'@'localhost'IDENTIFIED BY 'newpassword';

5. 修改密码安全级别

set global validate_password.policy=0;
set global validate_password.length=1;

6. 把/etc/my.cnf 文件末尾的 skip-grant-tables 去掉，重启MySQL服务，修改完成。
