Error 1045 (28000): Access Denied For User 'Root'@'Localhost' (Using : No) Manual To Install

Recently, I have been following a manual to install a software suite on Ubuntu.

Check your varlogmysqld.log for a line talking about a temporary password.

Quoting the doc about --skip-grant-tables: This enables anyone to connect without a password and with all privileges.

It didnt work for me, and following Divzs answer seems way easier to me, anyway -- What I would suggest is using dpkg --get-selections grep mysql-server- to get your exact MySQL version, then go for sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.x (replace 5.x with your server version, btw).

I commented Divzs answer with this precision, but its masked by the several thanks comments.

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.

The password for the superuser is set and stored in the error log file.

When I run sudo grep temporary password varlogmysqld.log I get varlogmysqld.log: No such file or directory.

My mysql version is: Ver 8.0.13 for Linux on x8664 (MySQL Community Server - GPL).

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Cant connect to local MySQL server through socket varrunmysqldmysqld.sock (2).

In step 5, do 1. use USER 2.

Error 1045 (28000): Access Denied For User 'Root'@'Localhost' (Using : No) Update User Set

To change password use -- update user set authenticationstring PASSWORD(password) where Userroot.

I had to stop Mysql from System Preference, and then followed step 2 and step 5.

And then I had to kill the MySQL process by looking up the PID using ps -ef grep mysql.

Finally I can see mysql -u root -p working with my new password.

Once you are in, you can create a user with a password by following steps.

On re-install you set a root password and this fixed the problem.

To install mysql after uninstalling it I think digital ocean has a good tutorial on it.

UPDATE mysql.user SET authenticationstringPASSWORD(YourNewPasswordBuddy), pluginmysqlnativepassword WHERE Userroot AND Hostlocalhost.

Check varlogmysqlerror.log make sure there is no error and the mysqld is successfully started.

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.
