Please help, I've searched all over the internet but nothing seems to be working.

I installed mysql 5.7.9 from the install disk image and received the pop-up with a root password.

I promptly lost the pop-up and therefore the password! Since then I have tried several tutorials but each one doesn't seem to be explicitly for El Capitan.

How can I reset the root password?

So far, I've managed to get to 

sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Please help.
