mysql 安装了最新版，但是初始化登陆不了，网上找了很多资料，但是都没用，后来在网上看到说是新版本的mysql初始化安装会随机生成一个root密码，如果你不知道这个密码，或者没有留意到这个密码，则会出现我这样的情况，安装了登不了，总是报错：
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
或者
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
mysql 版本：
[root@master make]# mysql -V
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.14, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper
[root@master make]# mysql -uroot
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[root@master make]# mysql -uroot -p
Enter password: [直接回车]
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
以上咋都登陆不了。
下面就是找这个随机生成的密码：
[root@master make]# cat /etc/my.cnf

其中能够找到这样一行：
2016-08-16T15:26:30.791808Z 1 [Note] A temporary password is generated for root@localhost: q+673+g>+=lW
q+673+g>+=lW 这个就是随机生成的密码啊。
下面测试：
[root@master make]# mysql -uroot -p'q+673+g>+=lW'
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

mysql> show databases;

这里是因为密码不符合规则，这个与validate_password_policy的值有关。
validate_password_policy有以下取值：
| Policy | Tests Performed |
|---|---|
0 or LOW
|
Length |
1 or MEDIUM
|
Length; numeric, lowercase/uppercase, and special characters |
2 or STRONG
|
Length; numeric, lowercase/uppercase, and special characters; dictionary file |
默认是1，即MEDIUM，所以刚开始设置的密码必须符合长度，且必须含有数字，小写或大写字母，特殊字符。
有时候，只是为了自己测试，不想密码设置得那么复杂，譬如说，我只想设置root的密码为123456。
必须修改两个全局参数：
首先，修改validate_password_policy参数的值
mysql> select @@validate_password_length;
+----------------------------+
| @@validate_password_length |
+----------------------------+
| 8 |
+----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)
mysql> alter user 'root'@'localhost' identified by 'root123456';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
至此问题已经解决。
