修改mysql的密码有很多方式，这里是直接修改mysql 数据库里面的user表的user字段值为root对应的authentication_string字段的值步骤：1.Mac下安装好mysql后，启动mysql（系统便好设置里面启动mysql，然后Start MYSQL Server）
2.进入终端输入命令：PATH＝”$PATH":/usr/local/mysql/bin
3.由于刚刚安装好的mysql密码为空，输入命令：mysql -u root -p 按回车即可登录4.显示所有数据库,输入命令：show databases;
5.进入到名为mysql的数据库6.显示出mysql数据库里面的表, 有一个user表，里面就存储的是mysql用户名，密码7.打印user表结构8.更新authentication_string（相当于windows里面的password字段）字段，此处要用PASSWORD（）函数修改至此，mysql初始密码就修改完成了，之后就可以登录试试了添加内容：
关于Windows下面安装mysql5.6后忘记密码怎么重置的问题
1.密码错误的时候会显示:
mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
2.停止服务:
net stop mysql;
3.进入到skip-grant-tables模式：
mysqld safe --skip-grant-tables
4.此时登录mysql是不会需要密码
指令mysql就可以进入mysql数据库
进入mysql系统数据库：
mysql> use mysql
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
Database changed
修改root账户密码：
mysql> update user set password=password("12345") where user="root";
Query OK, 4 rows affected (0.02 sec)
Rows matched: 4 Changed: 4 Warnings: 0
刷新权限：
mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> exit
Bye
停止mysql进程：
Stopped mysqld safe --skip-grant-tables
启动mysql：
net start mysql;
Starting MySQL SUCCESS!
使用刚才修改的密码进入mysql：
[root@oraserver139 ~] mysql -u root -p 12345
Warning: Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
