Linux下mysql5.7忘记root密码的解决方法
一、首先更改my.cnf的配置文件，并重启mysql
在my.cnf文件中的[mysqld] 下加入下面一行，其余不做改变。
[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
skip-grant-tables
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl restart mysqld
二、登录MySQL,此时不需要输入密码，直接回车即可
mysql -uroot -p
三、切换到mysql数据库，查询user表的结构，这里有需要的字段。
在MySQL5.7版本中mysql数据库下已经没有password这个字段了，password字段改成了authentication_string字段。
mysql> use mysql;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
Database changed
mysql> desc user;

45 rows in set (0.00 sec)
把这个复制下来，修改密码时会用到，当然也可以手打。
四、修改mysql的root密码并退出mysql
mysql> update user
-> set authentication_string=password('ABCabc123!')
-> where user='root' and host='loacalhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 0 Changed: 0 Warnings: 1
mysql> \q
Bye
五、再次修改my.cnf配置文件，将第一步添加的语句注释或删除,然后重启mysql。
[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
#skip-grant-tables
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl restart mysqld
六、用新密码登录mysql
[root@localhost ~]# mysql -uroot -pABCabc123!
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

注意：如果不行的话，你可能还需要执行下面这一步。我用的 MySQL5.7 要执行下面一步。
mysql> alter user root@localhost identified by '123';
