MySQL8.0及以上版本如何修改root密码

1.如果记得原密码，以原密码登录MySQL。否则需要先修改my.cnf文件，在mysqld模块中增加一行：skip-grant-tables，然后重启mysqld，并以空密码登录（直接回车）。

$ mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:

2.修改密码。

mysql> alter user root@'%' identified by [with mysql_native_password] 'Admin123!@#';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)】

mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

注意，这里可能需要一个高强度的密码，MySQL8默认的验证密码强度（validate_password_policy）为"MEDIUM"，可通过下面语句查询当前密码强度：

mysql> show variables like "%validate_password%";
+--------------------------------------+--------+
| Variable_name                        | Value  |
+--------------------------------------+--------+
| validate_password_check_user_name    | ON     |
| validate_password_dictionary_file    |        |
| validate_password_length             | 8      |
| validate_password_mixed_case_count   | 1      |
| validate_password_number_count       | 1      |
| validate_password_policy             | MEDIUM |
| validate_password_special_char_count | 1      |
+--------------------------------------+--------+
7 rows in set (0.11 sec)

// 如果要修改密码强度，可以执行下面语句
mysql> set global validate_password_policy=LOW;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

若以上不起作用，则可以先删除root用户，再新增root用户。

mysql> use mysql;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed

mysql> delete from user where user='root';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> create user 'root'@'%' identified by 'Admin123!@#';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to root@'%';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

然后重启mysqld，用root用户的新密码登录即可。
