二进制安装MySQL 5.7.17 重置root密码

1. 拷贝support-files/my-default.cnf到/etc/my.cnf
2. vim 编辑/etc/my.cnf,尾部追加一行
   
skip-grant-tables

3. 重启MySQL服务

4. 进入MySQL，重置密码

   mysql -u root #进入MySQL
   update user set authentication_string=PASSWORD('newpass') where User='root'  #5.7.6以上
   update user set password=PASSWORD('newpass') where User='root'; #5.7.5 之前

5. 退出，删除在/etc/my.cnf尾部追加的内容(skip-grant-tables)，保存退出，重启MSYQL服务

6. 进入MSYQL，使用新密码登录

   mysql -uroot  -p
   mysql> SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_new_password');# 否则在创建数据库的时候会报如下错误

   ERROR 1820 (HY000): You must reset your password using ALTER USER statement before executing this statement.
