I'm trying to use MySQL Workbench and it is asking me for the root password to connect with localhost, and either it didn't ask me to create this password or I've forgotten it, and I have to use it for a class. What should I do?

  • do i type these commands into Terminal? – Surya Jaishankar Apr 20 '22 at 19:36
  • It sounds like you are on a Mac. Follow the instructions for UNIX-like systems. Where it shows commands after a prompt like `$>`, those are at the shell prompt in Terminal. Other commands are for the mysql client. – Bill Karwin Apr 20 '22 at 20:07

firstly stop MySQL service on your services area windows: for this: 1-RUN--> Services 2-find MySQL and stope it

try to edit my.ini : find it in MySQL installed place and change the Root Password

start the MySQL service again
