mysql登录错误ERROR 1698 (28000)

之前MySQL服务端本机上使用密码登陆root账号是没有问题的，但是今天不知道是动了哪里，登陆失败并有这个错误代码：

# mysql -u root -p
Enter password: 
ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

解决步骤：

停止mysql服务

#  service mysql stop

以安全模式启动MySQL

# sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

MySQL启动之后就可以不用密码登陆了

# mysql -u root

查看一下user表，错误的起因就是在这里， root的plugin被修改成了auth_socket，用密码登陆的plugin应该是mysql_native_password。

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> select user,plugin from user;
+------------------+-----------------------+
| user             | plugin                |
+------------------+-----------------------+
| root             | auth_socket           |

| mysql.sys        | mysql_native_password |

关于auth_socket，在官方有说明： https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-security-excerpt/5.5/en/socket-authentication-plugin.html ，反正现在暂时不用它， 那就把这里改了。

>mysql> update mysql.user set authentication_string=PASSWORD('newPwd'), plugin='mysql_native_password' where user='root';
Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Warnings: 1 
mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

改完之后

mysql> select user,plugin from user;
+------------------+-----------------------+
| user             | plugin                |
+------------------+-----------------------+
| root             | mysql_native_password |
| mysql.session    | mysql_native_password |
| mysql.sys        | mysql_native_password |
| debian-sys-maint | mysql_native_password |
+------------------+-----------------------+

重启服务，问题就解决了
