I have actually lost my root password and I need to change it. I follow these steps :
Step # 1: Stop the MySQL server process.
Step # 2: Start the MySQL (mysqld) server/daemon process with the --skip-grant-tables option so that it will not prompt for a password.
Step # 3: Connect to the MySQL server as the root user.
that we can found on these website : //www.howtoforge.com/setting-changing-resetting-mysql-root-passwords#recover-mysql-root-password
mysql> use mysql; mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD("TOOR"); mysql> flush privileges; mysql> quitFirst error, so I tried :
mysql> use mysql; mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD("TOOR") where User='root'; mysql> flush privileges; mysql> quitAlways the same error said :
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '("TOO R") WHERE User='root'' at line 1How can I resolve this?

Step 1: Create a new file in your root directory( e.g C:) Step 2: Write this ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'abc' and save it Step 3: If your Mysql service is already running, please stop this and open your CMD Step 4: Go to your Mysql installation directory (e.g C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin) and type this command
mysql --init-file=C:/init.sqlStep 5: Execute this command and you are good to go :)

I am using 8.0.23 but had multiple issues. Here are the issues and solutions. I followed the mysql docs and was able to do the reset, though I had isues. I have provided my solutions and a sample reset script.
Issues
- following steps outlined by others had various failures
- user running daemon is mysql and I cannot su to mysql id
- getting error can't create lock file /var/run/mysqld/mysqlx.sock.lock , mysqld folder is getting deleted by the mysql service.
- had to kill -9 mysql process after running, very ugly
Solutions
- use steps from //dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
- use --user=mysql when running mysql commands
- Create folder /var/run/mysqld and chown for mysql:mysql before runing comamnds
- use mysqladmin shutdown to stop sql after starting it for reset
In the script, I will reset root to New%Password
# create password reset file cat << EOF >/tmp/deleteme ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'New%Password'; EOF # create /var/run/mysqld mkdir /var/run/mysqld chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld # start mysqld and run the command mysqld --init-file=/tmp/deleteme --user=mysql & # wait for sql to start while [ ! -f /var/run/mysqld/mysqlx.sock.lock ]; do sleep 1; done sleep 3 # stop sql mysqladmin -u root -pNew%Password shutdown while [ -f /var/run/mysqld/mysqlx.sock.lock ]; do sleep 1; done #clean up temp file rm /tmp/deletemeanswered Apr 14, 2021 at 22:17

If you are on Windows you can try following steps
Reset MySQL 8.0 root Password in Windows
- Stop the MySQL 8.0service from services
- Go to path C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin and open cmd
- Run mysqld --console --skip-grant-tables --shared-memory
- Open new cmd in the same path
- Run following commands
- mysql -u root
- select authentication_string,host from mysql.user where user='root';
- UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string='' WHERE user='root';
- Now close both the cmd.
- Try to start the MySQL 8.0 service.
- Connect using username as root & password as blank.
- Change the password from the user management.

Using SQLYog you can execute commands
User Creation
CREATE USER 'tester'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Pass123#d'Authorization
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON sakila.* TO 'tester'@'localhost'Changing Password in MySQL 8.0
ALTER USER 'tester'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Pass123#d';or if u know the authentication_string directly set it to update
UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string='*F9B62579F38BE95639ACB009D79427F2D617158F' WHERE USER='root'Changing password in lower versions of mysql
GRANT USAGE ON *.\* TO 'tester'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Pass123#d' SET PASSWORD FOR 'tester'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('Pass123#d');
