I installed MySQL on ubunto 18.04 and it is asking me to root password, but I don't have it.



Mysql version is:



mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.23, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper


what I did is as follow:



  1. I followed instructions on this site to install MYSql : https://support.rackspace.com/how-to/installing-mysql-server-on-ubuntu/


  2. When I try to run the shell, I am getting error 1698



    m@m-XPS-M1530:~/Documents$ /usr/bin/mysql -u root -p
    Enter password:
    ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'


  3. I tried blank password and also root password of the Ubuntu root without any success.


  4. I followed the instruction on this site to rest the password without any success: https://coderwall.com/p/j9btlg/reset-the-mysql-5-7-root-password-in-ubuntu-16-04-lts


  5. I uninstall and reinstalled it to make sure that I followed steps correctly, without any success. https://linuxscriptshub.com/uninstall-completely-remove-mysql-ubuntu-16-04/


Any idea how I can fix this problem?
I can uninstall and reinstall with a different instruction if required.

  • What happens if you run the client without using the -p option, mysql -u root?

  • Have you tied to type empty password? I had the same problem a few days ago. And it helped me. youtu.be/8RhO4qtIvOI
