  1. First, Try to Recover Default Password
    Look into the Default MySQL Config file:

    sudo cat /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
    Then Try to Login with the Given Pass.
  2. Stop MySQL Server.

    sudo service mysql stop
    Or in case:
    sudo service mariadb stop
  3. Make the Needed Directory.

    sudo mkdir /var/run/mysqld

    And Set mysql as User

    sudo chown mysql: /var/run/mysqld
  4. Start mysqld_safe.

    sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &
  5. Login into MySQL without Pass
    Open a New Window or Demonize the process with Ctrl+c:

    mysql -uroot mysql
  6. Setting New Pass.

    UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('YOUR-NEW-PASS'), plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root' AND Host='localhost';
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

    Change “YOUR-NEW-PASS” in the Above…

  7. Kill mysqld Process

    sudo pkill mysqld
    But you may need to find out the mysqld process with:
    ps ax | grep mysqld
    And then use the process ID to kill it as Eg.:
    sudo kill -9 166394
  8. Restart MySQL/MariaDB Server.

    sudo service mysql start
