I just installed MySQL on Mac OS X. The next step was setting the root user password, so I did this next:
Under some circumstances, SET PASSWORD may be recorded in server logs or on the client side in a history file such as /.mysqlhistory, which means that cleartext passwords may be read by anyone having read access to that information.For information about the conditions under which this occurs for the server logs and how to control it, see Section 6.1.2.3, “Passwords and Logging”.
- Launch the terminal app to access the Unix command line.
- Under the Unix prompt I executed these commands:
But, when I execute the command
$ ./mysql -u root
, this is the answer:I can get into the
mysql
command line without any password!Why is this?

Try the command
FLUSH PRIVILEGES
when you log into the MySQL terminal. If that doesn't work, try the following set of commands while in the MySQL terminalChange out NEWPASSWORD with whatever password you want. Should be all set!
Update: As of MySQL 5.7, the
password
field has been renamed authentication_string
. When changing the password, use the following query to change the password. All other commands remain the same:Update: On 8.0.15 (maybe already before that version) the PASSWORD() function does not work, as mentioned in the comments below. You have to use:
UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string='password' WHERE User='root';

If you don't remember the password you set for root and need to reset it, follow these steps:
- Stop the mysqld server, this varies per install
- Run the server in safe mode with privilege bypass
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables;
- In a new window connect to the database, set a new password and flush the permissions & quit:
mysql -u root
For MySQL older than MySQL 5.7 use:
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('your-password') WHERE User='root';
For MySQL 5.7+ use:
USE mysql;
UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('your-password') WHERE User='root';
Refresh and quit:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
q
- Stop the safe mode server and start your regular server back. The new password should work now. Worked like a charm for me :)

Once you've installed MySQL, you'll need to establish the 'root' password. If you don't establish a root password, then, well, there is no root password, and you don't need a password to log in.
So, that being said, you need to establish a root password.
Using terminal enter the following:
![Reference Reference](/uploads/1/2/5/5/125577815/567042366.png)
Installation: Set root user password:
If you've made a mistake, or need to change the root password use the following:
Change root password:

For new Mysql 5.7 for some reason bin commands of Mysql not attached to the shell:
- Restart the Mac after install.
- Start Mysql:System Preferences > Mysql > Start button
- Go to Mysql install folder in terminal:
$ cd /usr/local/mysql/bin/
- Access to Mysql:
$ ./mysql -u root -p
and enter the initial password given to the installation.
- In Mysql terminal change password:
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPassword';
DeoxyseiaDeoxyseia
In the terminal, write
mysql -u root -p
and hit Return.Enter the current mysql password that you must have noted down.And set the passwordSET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('new_password');
Please refer to this documentation here for more details.

If you have forgot the MySQL root password, can’t remember or want to break in…. you can reset the mysql database password from the command line in either Linux or OS X as long as you know the root user password of the box you are on:
(1) Stop MySQL
(2) Start it in safe mode:
(3) This will be an ongoing command until the process is finished so open another shell/terminal window, log in without a password:
In the UPDATE command above just replace the 'password' with your own new password, make sure to keep the quotation marks
(4) Save and quite
(5) Start MySQL

When I installed OS X Yosemite,I got problem with Mysql. I tried lot of methods but none worked. I actually found a quite easy way. Try this out.
- First log in terminal from su privileges.
sudo su
- stop mysql
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop
- start in safe mode:
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
- open another terminal, log in as su privileges than, log in mysql without password
mysql -u root
- change the password
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('new_password') WHERE User='root';
- flush privileges
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
- You are done now

The methods mentioned in existing answers don't work for mysql 5.7.6 or later. According mysql documentation this is the recommended way.
B.5.3.2.3 Resetting the Root Password: Generic Instructions
MySQL 5.7.6 and later:
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass';

If you can't remember your password, @radtek's answer worked for me except in my case I had set up MySQL using brew which meant that steps 1 and 2 of his answer had to be changed to:
/usr/local/bin/mysql.server stop
/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
Note: the lack of
sudo
.schminnieschminnie
I think this should work :
(Note that you should probably replace root with your username if it isn't root)

Testing
Run

This is what exactly worked for me:
- Make sure no other MySQL process is running.To check this do the following:
- Start MySQL with the command:
- The password for every user is stored in the mysql.user table under columns User and authentication_string respectively. We can update the table as:
![Mysql 5.7 password reset Mysql 5.7 password reset](/uploads/1/2/5/5/125577815/432175498.jpg)

If you forgot your password or want to change it to your mysql:
- start your terminal and enter:
- Enter pass for you system
- Stop your mysql:
- Leave this window OPEN, run second terminal window and enter here:
- And change your password for mysql:
where 'new_password' - your new pass. You don't need old pass for mysql.
- Flush, quit and check your new pass:
- Close all windows and check your new pass for mysql.Good luck.

Much has changed for MySQL 8. I've found the following modification of the MySQL 8.0 'How to Reset the Root Password' documentation works with Mac OS X.
Mysql 5.7 Password Reset
Create a temp file
$HOME/mysql.root.txt
with the SQL to update the root password:ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '<new-password>';
This uses
mysql_native_password
to avoid the Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' cannot be loaded error, which I get if I omit the option.Stop the server, start with an
--init-file
option to set the root password, then restart the server: mysql.server stop mysql.server start --init-file=$HOME/mysql.root.txt mysql.server stop mysql.server start

macOS 10.14+ with 5.7.26 installed from Mac OSX DMG installer.
When attempting to use the UPDATE command posted by other users results in the following error:
ERROR 1820 (HY000): You must reset your password using ALTER USER statement before executing this statement.
Copy the password that was presented to you by the Installer open terminal and do the following:

I somehow need to do this every time my Macbook restarts. Posting this for personal reference, hopefully it helps someone else as well.

Let us add this workaround that works on my laptop!
Mac with Osx Mojave 10.14.5
Mysql 8.0.17 was installed with homebrew
- I run the following command to locate the path of mysql
brew info mysql
- Once the path is known, I run this :
/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/8.0.17/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-table
- In another terminal I run :
mysql -u root
- Inside that terminal, I changed the root password using :
update mysql.user set authentication_string='NewPassword' where user='root';
- and to finish I run :
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
And voila the password was reset.
