mysql8安装后如何修改root密码

mysql5.7.9之后，就没有了password函数，所以，使用传统的password()函数修改root密码的话，就会提示sql错误

 UPDATE user SET authentication_string = password('') WHERE User='root';

ERROR  (): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '('') WHERE User='root'' at line 

正确设置密码的方法是：

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '';

此时提示修改成功，退出mysql再次登陆即需要输入刚刚设置的密码。
