以上的修改密码改为了命令：
UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string = PASSWORD('MyNewPassword') WHERE User = 'root' AND Host = 'localhost';
否则会报错；

方法二：
该方法先修改mysql配置文件使其可以无密码登录，让后修改密码，之后便复原配置文件
修改/etc/my.cnf
vim /etc/my.cnf配置文件添加skip-grant-tables
[root@VM_0_8_centos ~]# vim /etc/my.cnf
# For advice on how to change settings please see
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/server-configuration-defaults.html
[mysqld]
#
# Remove leading # and set to the amount of RAM for the most important data
# cache in MySQL. Start at 70% of total RAM for dedicated server, else 10%.
# innodb_buffer_pool_size = 128M
#
# Remove leading # to turn on a very important data integrity option: logging
# changes to the binary log between backups.
# log_bin
#
# Remove leading # to set options mainly useful for reporting servers.
# The server defaults are faster for transactions and fast SELECTs.
# Adjust sizes as needed, experiment to find the optimal values.
# join_buffer_size = 128M
# sort_buffer_size = 2M
# read_rnd_buffer_size = 2M
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
skip-grant-tables 此处！！！！！！
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0保存后重启mysql
systemctl restart mysql即可免密登录，命令行输入mysql直接登录
选择mysql数据库，输入下列命令重置密码，'new-password'即为所设置密码
USE mysql;
