Reset MySQL root password not working - mysql

I've setup MySQL on my mac a while ago and I forgot what my root password was.(there are only a few password combinations I use, and none of them seems to work) I've tried many methods, including trying to reset the root password in safe mode. Nothing seems to be working for me.
Below is the log that I got from a few solutions I tried:
1.Normal Login
Yorks-MacBook-Pro:~ yorkwang$ mysql -u root ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
Yorks-MacBook-Pro:~ yorkwang$ mysql -u root -p Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (usingpassword: YES)
2.Safemode Password Reset
Yorks-MacBook-Pro:~ yorkwang$ mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables

Additional info: I'm using a macbook pro with OSX 10.11.5

When you are trying to start the MySQL server without the grant tables, you're receiving (multiple) Permission Denied. For instance,
/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe: line 135: /usr/local/var/mysql/Yorks-MacBook-Pro.local.err: Permission denied
and that's why you're being unable to connect to the server (it never had the chance to start).
So, first of all, kill any mysqld_safe that might be already running (as super user):
$ sudo killall -TERM mysqld_safe; sleep 5; sudo killall -TERM mysqld
Check if the process is dead:
$ ps -ef | grep mysql
If not, and if you don't care about losing database integrity (possible data loss) issue the commands:
$ sudo killall -KILL mysqld_safe; sleep 5; sudo killall -KILL mysqld
Then, try to start the mysqld_safe with super user privileges (note the --skip-grant-tables):
$ sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
Then connect to the MySQL Server (avoiding the use of the mysql unix socket):
$ mysql -uroot -h 127.0.0.1 --protocol=tcp
And then, under the MySQL Console:
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass';
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'#'127.0.0.1' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass';

Docker-compose does extra work to preserve volumes between runs (thus preserving the database); you may want to try docker-compose rm -v to delete everything and try starting it up again. The command docker-compose rm -v reflects in the containers, but NOT in the volume mapped. So, the following command will remove the containers and since it doesn't delete the volumes, the command files to create a new user.
$ docker-compose rm -v
Going to remove backendphp_qgPhpMyAdmin_1, backendphp_qgMySQLServer_1, backendphp_qgMysqlData_1
Are you sure? [yN] y
Removing backendphp_qgMysqlData_1...
Removing backendphp_qgMySQLServer_1...
Removing backendphp_qgPhpMyAdmin_1...
At this point, the only way to make it right is to delete the directory that you mapped your mysql data.
$ sudo rm -rf mysql-data
Only after that, the command created a new database with the users correctly set!
You can check this link too

I Fixed using :
sudo rm -r db-data/
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose down -v
Good Luck!

I've tried to run mysql_upgrade and the result is
mysql_upgrade: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES) while connecting to the MySQL server
Upgrade process encountered an error and will not continue
The problem was due to an import conflict between MySQL tables from the production server and test server.
As the file was large so difficult to modify the contents of the SQL file.
So the mysql database was imported too.
CAUTION BEFORE PROCESSING PLEASE BACKUP YOUR DATABASE!
The solution that worked for us is like the rest
1- Stop the mysql server
ref: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/using-systemd.html
2-Added the following parameters to
/etc/my.cnf
ref: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/system-schema.html
innodb_force_recovery = 1
skip-grant-tables
3- In the database directory, save the folder mysql copy themysql folder and empty the contents
4- Then execute the command
bin\mysqld --initialize
ref:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/data-directory-initialization.html
5- At the end execute the command
bin\mysql_upgrade
ref: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-upgrade.html
6- Start the mysql server again
ref: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/using-systemd.html
I got the same issue & error while working with docker.
docker exec -it container_name bash -c "mysql_upgrade -uroot -proot"
source: Running mysql_upgrade in Docker?

mysql says root#localhost is created with an empty password ! But nothings happening. did I miss something?

This started off as a root password resetting exercise- but been running into various errors: Currently stuck at conflicts on 3306 port. See last few paras of the question if you want to skip the previous steps (I just kept updating the question & title as I made progress). Thank you.
I have a mac with mysql installed- but I cant remember the password hence I've been trying to reset it using: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html (section:B.5.3.2.2 Resetting the Root Password: Unix and Unix-Like Systems).
While running this command:
mysqld --init-file=/home/me/mysql-init &
I got this error:

Whats wrong and how to fix this?
PS: I've been referring to these two SO, and am trying nearly all solutions in all answers- reseting permissions to removing all files in /usr/local/var/mysql. It still the same issue, I suspect its something to do with mysqld not running properly- is there a special way to run it as root. I'm currently trying to run in root mode in terminal by sudo -i. Can someone help me debug this? Thanks
mysql version:
> mysql --version
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.21, for osx10.12 (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper
UPDATE: I read the security documentation- apparently you aren't supposed to run it as root mode. So I logged out using exit.
Now, I'm getting the following situation:
Deepaks-MacBook-Air:mysql deepak$ mysqld --init-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysql-init &

which I suspect is due to the removal of my /usr/local/var/mysql directory as was suggested in one of the other answers. I'd deleted that using rm -rf. I made an new dir mkdir mysql in var and ran mysqld --init-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysql-init &, and it initially gives me a pid but then the logs ask me if 3306 port is already occupied:

I actually have two folders in my /usr/local/ - mysql and mysql-5.7.21-macos10.13-x86_64. The whole process so far, I've been running in the 'mysqlfolder and haven't really touchedmysql-5.7.21-macos10.13-x86_64`. They seem to have the same directory structure inside.
Also when I do ps aux | grep mysql, I get three processes:
Deepaks-MacBook-Air:local deepak$ ps aux | grep mysql
deepak 72071 100.0 0.0 2443044 1992 s002 S+ 4:44PM 0:00.01 grep mysql

However, when I proceed to kill the second or the third one, they simply reappear when I do ps aux again.
Also, I usually use a portforwarding to connect to a remote MySQL host. So, every once a while and in local scripts I run "ssh -fNT -L 3307:localhost:3306 -i ~/key/deepak_ubuntu_16feb.pem ubuntu#ec2-AWS-HOS-TNA-ME.compute-1.amazonaws.com"
Could this be a conflict?
UPDATE:
OK, I ignored the other directory and simply changed the port, that seemed to now avoid the conflict, but now has a different problem: mysql.sock.lock cant be accessed?

I'm trying the solutions from this SO post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34954455/mysql-daemon-lock-issue, the change owner answer did not work. I'm a little hesitant to remove locking.
OK, this post: https://support.rackspace.com/how-to/checking-linux-file-permissions-with-ls/ quite neatly explains how to read those permissions- apparently in my case _mysql user and wheel are the owner and group respectively. That doesn't make sense because I've never come across wheel in anything out side a .whl context and I haven't encountered the _mysql before today. I've tried to change to that user earlier using su - _mysql and I couldn't guess the password- not sure if mysql sets this up by default, in which case I'm confused right about now.
UPDATE:
OK, I solved that my Chowning it:
Deepaks-MacBook-Air:tmp deepak$ sudo chown deepak mysql.sock

Here is how I resolved this: the share folder didn't have a mysql directory and instead had the errmsg.sys in the english directory, I simply copied this file into a new directory I created in the share folder: mkdir mysql.
This worked but then showed:

Using chown, I changed the owner of mysql directory to my regular user account (strangely the mysql-5.7.21-macos10.13-x86_64 directory would not change its owner from group from root and wheel to anything even if I sudo'ed it.
So now the mysqld --initialize-insecure --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --init-file=/usr/local/mysql/mysql-init --port=3308 & command from /usr/local/mysql/ shows the following output:

This seemed good but nothing is happening. Is this it? Can I start connecting using my SequelPro to 'localhost:3308' now? or is there some other caveats I need to resolve like setting temp password? Before even that, do I need to go into another terminal window to try mysql -u root and leave this running or what?
Also, when I don ps aux | grep mysql it shows three processes as before but does not show 72460 the one that mysqld just showed me now. Is this something I need to be concerned about?
This is the first time I'm doing this, and I'm scared to do anything right about now to not ruin the last few hours of efforts to fix this.
How do I resolve this? Thanks!
UPDATE: FINAL ISSUES:
OK, I'm dealing with a final set of issues, gonna ask in a seperate question.
1)
Deepaks-MacBook-Air:App deepak$ mysql -u root
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
and
2)

Usage: mysqladmin [OPTIONS] command command....
3) In my System Preferences > MySQL, it says "MySQL server instance is STOPPED".
Firstly, the issue with running as root is that mysqld doesn't want to have root privileges. You're not wrong to run it as root though, since the data directory should by default not be writable to your own user. Simply tell it to drop privileges and run as the "mysql" user, which is the default user mysqld runs under on macOS and likely the user who owns the data directory (note that "_mysqld" and "mysql" refer to the same user on macOS for historical reasons). You do this by adding -u mysql to mysqld's command line.
The two directories should really be only one directory (with the long name that includes a version number) and one symbolic link (/usr/local/mysql pointing to the directory). That's how the MySQL installer sets things up, the symlink always points to the latest version of MySQL that was installed.
The other mysqld you see running is the one started from launchd. This is also something the MySQL installer sets up. You can use the MySQL preference pane (which should be installed by default) to shut it down. Otherwise, macOS will keep restarting it because it interprets the shutdowns as random failures. The preference pane should be somewhere at the end of the bottom row in System Preferences.
The port forwarding thing should not be an issue. It will only be active while the ssh connection is up, and it doesn't even forward the same local port.

Why can't I login to mysql with --login-path=local?

I just updated a MySQL database from 5.5 to 5.6. I'm attempting to follow best practices so I used mysql_config_editor to create a .mylogin.cnf file:
mysql_config_editor set --login-path=local --host=localhost --user=example --password
However, when I try mysql --login-path=local I get this error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'example'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
However, I can still login using mysql -u example -p, and then pasting the password at the prompt. I've triple-checked that I'm using the correct password in my mysql_config_editor command.
My grants look like this:
mysql> show grants;
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for example#localhost |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'example'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD <secret> |
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `example`.* TO 'example'#'localhost' |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Do you see anything in the log that might indicate why I can't login using the --login-path option?
Add double quotes to your password. It worked for me.
You should be using the socket to log in locally. Try specifying the mysql_config_editor command with the --socket=/path/to/mysqld.sock option that's correct for your MySQL instance.
I had this problem, and thought I'd share my solution in my case:
TLDR: Manually Connecting Works because the Default Host is Not Local, But You're Configuring MySQL_Config_Editor with Local
Your example of logging in omits the -h parameter: mysql -u example -p. To see what host mysql is connecting to, look at the results of: mysql --print-defaults. You get something like...
--user=ExampleUser
--password=*****
--host=host.example.com
--port=12345
The --host value you see here should exactly match what you are putting into the host value here, in order to make it work correctly:
mysql_config_editor set --host=host.example.com --user=example --password
In addition, I recommend trying without the --login-path=local, since it may actually well be that your host, according to the defaults, is not local or localhost.
According to the docs, the login-path parameter contains "options that specify which MySQL server to connect to and which account to authenticate as." (Source: Dev.MySQL.com.) So, I think your problem may be like mine: a mismatch of the right host value while also dropping --login-path=local.

MySQL Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Incorrect file format 'user'

MySQL (Percona 5.6) will not start.
This error has happened to me several times. Each time, I have had to remove MySQL data directories and reinstall MySQL.
Is there another way to fix MySQL? (Specifically one in which the data not blown away?)

I managed so solve this problem with answer from ruby.b
You'll have to repair your host table. To do this, issue the following command to start your server bypassing the privilege system
In one terminal, run
$ sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables
Open another terminal and execute these commands
$ mysql
mysql> use mysql
mysql> repair table host use_frm;
mysql> exit
And restart the mysql service
$ sudo service mysql restart
Thanks to John for putting me on the right track, I had a few other hoops to jump through on my system. Hope this helps someone.
This is a corrupt privilege table. Maybe caused by an upgrade or power failure. My system OpenSUSE 13.2, MySQL 5.6. Simple reinstall does not fix, must delete all traces of MySQL before reinstall OR…
Close down all instances of MySQL
$ systemctl stop mysql.service
$ pkill -9 mysqld
Start server bypassing privilege system
$ sudo mysqld_safe --user=root --skip-grant-tables
Start MySQL command line tool
$ mysql
If you receive
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
mysqld_safe is running with its socket somewhere else. Find it with.
$ sudo find / -type s
Mine was in /var/run/mysql/
Edit the socket line in my.cnf, making a note of your existing socket setting.
My line became
socket=/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
Return to 'Close down all instances of MySQL' (the top of these instructions). Follow them through to 'Start MySQL command line tool'. Hopefully you can open mysql successfully. From mysql command line.
mysql> use mysql
mysql> repair table user use_frm;
mysql> exit
Close down all instances of MySQL
$ systemctl stop mysql.service
$ pkill -9 mysqld
Re-edit my.cnf, returning the socket line to its original setting.
I had to reset permissions on 2 files in my mysql data directory.
$ chown mysql:mysql server2.err
$ chown mysql:mysql server2.pid
Start the MySQL server
$ systemctl start mysql.service
I then got the same original error with another table (db)
[ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Incorrect file format 'db'
And had to repeat the above procedure multiple times altering the 'repair' command until all privilege tables were fixed.
mysql> repair table db use_frm;
Here is the setup for #John Linhart's answer, if you're running Docker:
First, start a new docker container with the appropriate tag from the mysql-container (the same you used to write the DB with).
$ docker run --rm -it -v <named_volume>:/var/lib/mysql mysql:<tag> /bin/bash
This will launch a new container with the correct named volume (or mounted volume) mounted in the container and drop you into a shell as root. The mysqld-Daemon will refuse to launch as root though, so we'll run it as the mysql-user:
$ whoami
root
$ which mysqld
/usr/sbin/mysqld
$ su mysql
$ whoami
mysql
$ /usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant-tables
....
Now to run the SQL commands, we'll connect to the running container from a new terminal:
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID [...]
abc123 [...]
$ docker exec -it abc123 /bin/bash
# We're on the container now!
$ whoami
root
$ mysql
...
And continue from there. When you're done, leave the container on the second terminal via exit. The terminal running mysqld will not respond to CMD+C, so we'll stop the container via Docker:
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID [...]
abc123 [...]
$ docker stop abc123
