MySQL安装完server端和客户端后，登录Mysql时报错：
[root@rhel204 MySQL 5.6.23-RMP]# mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[root@rhel204 MySQL 5.6.23-RMP]# service mysql start
Starting MySQL.[ OK ]
[root@rhel204 MySQL 5.6.23-RMP for oraclelinux or rhel5-x86-64V74393-01]# mysql ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO
安装过程中并没有设置过任何密码，重装多次也是如此。。。。。
==========================
处理方法：
Reset Forgotten MySQL Root Password：
First things first. Log in as root and stop the mysql daemon.
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
Now lets start up the mysql daemon and skip the grant tables which store the passwords.
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables&
(press Ctrl+C now to disown the process and start typing commands again)
You should see mysqld start up successfully. If not, well you have bigger issues. Now you should be able to connect to mysql without a password.
sudo mysql --user=root mysql
update user set password=password('new-password');
flush privileges;
exit;
Now kill your running mysqld then restart it normally.
sudo killall mysqld_safe&
(press Ctrl+C now to disown the process and start typing commands again)
/etc/init.d/mysql start
You should be good to go. Try not to forget your password again.

需要重新修改密码：
[root@rhel201 mysql]# mysqladmin -uroot -p password rusky --将密码修改为rusky Enter password: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)' [root@rhel201 mysql]# mysqladmin -uroot -p password rusky Enter password: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)' [root@rhel201 mysql]# mysqladmin -uroot -p password rusky Enter password: Warning: Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

新版本的mysql安装过程中创建一个新的随机密码：
[root@rusky~]# cat .mysql_secret
# The random password set for the root user at Tue Apr 14 17:13:09 2015 (local time): VUbNaGLLtAU546Nh
登录命令：mysql -uroot -pVUbNaGLLtAU546Nh --使用文件中的随机密码可正常登录。
[root@NOP6-citrix01 local]# mysqladmin -uroot -p password --修改密码 Enter password: VUbNaGLLtAU546Nh New password: 新密码 Confirm new password: 新密码 [root@NOP6-citrix01 local]#
