最近在centOS 7上，通过yum安装了mysql，安装成功后，使用root登录，出现了如下报错：

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) |
mysql版本为：Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.10, for Linux(X86_64) using EditLine wrapper
然而实际上并没有进行过root密码设置(不知道是不是安装过程有被忽略的地方？)。
对此就各种寻找答案，大致有下面一些情况：
有说root的随机密码位于/root/.mysql_secret中，但是我根本没有/root/.mysql_secret文件。有文章表示

> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using> password: NO) :表示没有生成root的临时密码> > ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using> password: YES) :表示生成了root的临时密码。 |
有些资料说root的默认密码为空，经过确认那是以前的老版本，Mysql 5.6及以后版本出处于安全考虑，root密码已经不为空了。
最终找到对我来说有用的解决方案。

Now that the password MySQL had generated is expired, the problem is reduced to getting this password to work again (1) or generate a new one (2). This can be accomplished by running MySQL with the skip-grant-tables option which would make it ignore the access rights: |
解决方法：
复制代码 代码如下:
Stop your MySQL server.
Add skip-grant-tables at the end of the [mysqld] section of my.cnf file and save it.
Start MySQL server.
In terminal, typemysql -u root -pto get into MySQL command prompt.
In the command prompt, typeUSE mysql;to get into the mysql database where it keeps database users.
Type
UPDATE user SET password_expired = 'N' WHERE User = 'root';
to let MySQL know the password is not expired (1) or
UPDATE user SET authentication_string = PASSWORD('YourNewPassword'), password_expired = 'N' WHERE User = 'root';
