Reset MySQL Password - Mac - mysql

Question

I forgot my MySQL password.
I'm using MySQL 5.7 on a Mac.
When I use mysql -u root I get the following error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'jan'#'localhost' (using
password: NO)
Things I've tried without success:
Setting the password:
Option 1:
mysql -u root
mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD("NEWPASSWORD") WHERE User='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit
Getting the following error after mysql -u root:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'jan'#'localhost' (using
password: YES)
Option 2
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password NEW_PASSWORD_HERE
Change root password
cd /usr/local/mysql/bin/
./mysql -u root -p
> Enter password: [type old password invisibly]
use mysql;
update user set password=PASSWORD("NEW_PASSWORD_HERE") where User='root';
flush privileges;
quit
Getting the following error after ./mysql -u root -p:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'jan'#'localhost' (using
password: NO)
Resetting the password according to the MySQL manual
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
When I use mysql I'm getting the following error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user
'jan'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
I also tried uninstalling MySQL from my Mac and reinstall it.
It's impossible for me to come any further without a password..
