Ubuntu 18.04 安装MySQL：ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

Ubuntu 18.04 安装MySQL：ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’

错误信息：

Enter password:
ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’

  导致原因
由于使用命令sudo apt-get install mysql安装时,并没有提示输入密码,则密码没有初始化

解决办法：

思路：既然密码没有初始化，那么直接使用默认密码登录就可以了。

步骤：

1. 使用cat命令查看默认密码

sudo cat /etc/mysql/debian.cnf

显示的内容：

# Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH!
[client]
host     = localhost
user     = debian-sys-maint
password = 6b76NDnr65gNCcia
socket   = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysql_upgrade]
host     = localhost
user     = debian-sys-maint
password = 6b76NDnr65gNCcia
socket   = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

2. 使用默认密码登录

# mysql -udebian-sys-maint -p
Enter password: 
...
mysql>

3. 修改密码

UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('root'), PLUGIN='mysql_native_password' WHERE USER='root';

4. 重启服务

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

5. 退出重新登录

mysql -u root -p root
