I lost my mysql password and need to reset it.
I have already tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset
With the following result
erik#Trantor:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[ ok ] Stopping mysql (via systemctl): mysql.service.

I did not use the skip-networking option as that has been indicated by another post to cause it's own trouble and I'm not worried about security at the moment. Through some checking, I found that the service is failing to actually start with that option.

I'm not sure how to get mysql to start with the -skip-grant-tables option at this point, and without my password, I'm dead in the water.
I have tried to remove and install mysql-server again.
Anyone know how I can get it to start with the flag, or where I should look next?

Background: I am using Ubuntu-20.04 and I needed to downgrade MySQL version from 8.0 to 5.7.
By using multiple tutorials I had not succeeded and then I installed MySQL 8.0 again but now I can not connect with MySQL 8.0.
mysql -u root -p
and got error
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I think the reason was I had run these two commands:
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql*
After reinstalling mysql 8.0 i found /etc/mysql but there is no directory like /var/lib/mysql* .
Please help me to login in mysql, I have tried a lot of solutions. If you have any question, please let me know.

It worked for me. And its perfect solution as per my problem.
Solution
Previously I performed the migration of my database from one directory to another within the server itself (/var/lib/mysql to /mnt/mysql) for lack of space.
When starting the server again, after having changed the /etc/my.cnf with the correct directory it returns me this error:
$ systemctl start mysqld
Job for mysqld.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mysqld.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
And when I run the systemctl status command on the mysqld service it returns me:
$ systemctl status mysqld.service

If it is permission error, how do I free the server to accept such a directory?

Thank you!!
If you are using Linux or Unix Server then you should check the permissions of the user to access the service. Here I can see that the user which is logged in can't access the service because of the permission problem.
Try with.
sudo systemctl start mysqld;
Or try sudo su;, enter the creds of the superuser and then try to check the service status.
Or login as superuser and then try to start the service.
Hope this may help you.
After searching i discovered that the error was the 'enforcing' permission of SELINUX.
The answer to fix this problem is:
$ sudo setenforce 0
And the server went up normally.
Are you logged in with root user?
If no, try with sudo.
Otherwise, I think is better to restart your system and try again.
If you aren't expert in linux centos don't manipulate anything.
uninstall mysql and reinstall it.
I try to stop mysql but anything I do nothing happens
I checked my database:
~$ mysql --version
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.0.34-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2
It shows that Im using MariaDB ok... So I tried to stop it and...
$ sudo systemctl stop mariadb
Failed to stop mariadb.service: Unit mariadb.service not loaded.
mariadb.service not loaded? why?
I tried to stop database with this command:
sudo systemctl stop mysql
I got no error.
but my website still works. It means database is running.
when I print out status of mysql:

My question is how can I stop mysql database.
Im getting this error
#1045 - Access denied for user 'skni'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
I found solution that to fix it I need first stop database
mysql --version
says gives the commandline tool's is version. It says nothing about whether mysqld (the 'server') is running.
This might be more informative:
mysqladmin -u root status
where you use sufficient credentials (user/password/host/port) to actually connect to the server.
#1045 - Access denied for user 'skni'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
Says that user 'skni' is not allowed to connect with the password used. This is a login problem, not a server start/stop problem. The server must be running for that message to occur.
Firstly, I must say that I have not used these tools in the past so linux commands are not familiar to me.
Backstory:
On my Webmin server, I have been trying to get a Drupal Installation to work. I changed a parameter on the MySQL module and now the MySQL will not start.
Current Situation:
When I click "Start MySQL Server" I receive the follow:
Failed to start database : Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start
mariadb.service Job for mariadb.service failed because the control
process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mariadb.service"
and "journalctl -xe" for details.
I've search around this, and most people recommend to reinstall MariaDB.
I connected to the server with putty to get some more information

I gather that this means Mariadb wont even start so I should probably reinstall it. I did try to simply use a defaul my.cnf but that didn't really do anything.
Ideally, I do not want to lose any of the databases I have.
What should I do? Should I reinstall Mariadb? Is there a suitable guide that lists the commands? Could I install Mariadb but to another folder?
What is the best course of action at this point?
So I've been working on a rails server with MySQL and suddenly can't access my database. When I try to log in with mysql -u root -p I get ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2). I've read most of the forums I can find and looked through all the logs trying to reset mysqld.sock. I've tried reinstalling and repackaging unsuccessfully. The weird thing is that var/run/mysqld/ doesn't even exist after reinstalling.
So I decided to just back up my databases and overhaul everything. I cleaned out both apache and mysql with apt-get remove --purge and reinstalled. All went fine, apache launched fine, and then tried to relaunch mysql with systemctl start mysql which gave a prompt to check the log which says:

Update - I created the folder mysqld, which seems to allow sudo mysqld --initialize to run. Unfortunately this yielded the error
2016-12-17T00:16:36.298825Z 0 [ERROR] Can't change data directory owner to mysql
2016-12-17T00:16:36.299212Z 0 [ERROR] Aborting
So no party yet. Any thoughts would be hugely appreciated.
edit /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysql.cnf :
sudo nano /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysql.cnf
add this line :
socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
then restart mysql service :
sudo service mysql restart
