How do I log in as root in MySQL?
I've installed MySQL and during installation I was asked for a password which I entered, but now my teacher says that we should be able to log in as root without any password.
This works but I don't get any privileges:
This doesn't work:
Neither does this

That means you've entered wrong password. Which Ubuntu version are you using? How did you installed mysql? I tried installing MySQL in Ubuntu that I use in virtuabox and haven't got any prompt to set a password.

Cause of the issue
The default configuration for logging in as root user in MySQL 5.7 requires use of an authentication socket. This can be verified via querying the user table:
mysql> select user,authentication_string,plugin from user where user='root';
+------+-----------------------+-------------+
| user | authentication_string | plugin |
+------+-----------------------+-------------+
| root | | auth_socket |
+------+-----------------------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
From the documentation:
The socket plugin checks whether the socket user name (the operating
system user name) matches the MySQL user name specified by the client
program to the server. If the names do not match, the plugin checks
whether the socket user name matches the name specified in the
authentication_string column of the mysql.user system table row. If a
match is found, the plugin permits the connection.
In other words, mysql by default doesn't have root password set - you need to either run phpMyAdmin as root or via sudo (both of which are bad idea for security reasons), or you change the authentication method and reset the root password as shown in Digital Ocean tutorial.
Note that aside from same name, MySQL users and system users are not the same. You can have a MySQL user jdoe and have no such user on the host system. Thus, root is MySQL's root user, not system user.
Steps to change plugin and password:
open terminal and run
sudo mysql -u root. You should see a greeting message andmysql>prompt. This is the MySQL shell, which is different from your command-line shell, so only SQL statements are accepted here.
Enter the following sequence of SQL queries:
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
mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> UPDATE user SET plugin='mysql_native_password',authentication_string=PASSWORD('newpassword') WHERE user = 'root'
-> ;
Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 1
Exit and attempt to sign in:
mysql> exit
Bye
$ PS1='$ '
$ sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter password:

If everything goes well, you should be able to sing in from phpMyAdmin via the new password.

That means you've entered wrong password. Which Ubuntu version are you using? How did you installed mysql? I tried installing MySQL in Ubuntu that I use in virtuabox and haven't got any prompt to set a password.
