I found a solution at here link, by following this solution I have solved my problem.



Short steps are:



sudo mysql -u root
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'test';


Note: here test is a new password for the root user. Also, remember to run the command sudo service mysql restart after altering the user.

I found another way that is much better as we need not to give any password for local system.
It is as followed.



Open terminal and type



sudo mysql -u root -p


It will prompt you in mysql, here you can fire any mysql commands.



Use mysql table for change table type, so we can use empty password. Bellow is command for it



USE mysql;


Now we change type of table by following command



UPDATE user SET plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root';


now we have to flush the privileges, because we have used UPDATE. If you use INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE on grant tables directly you need use FLUSH PRIVILEGES in order to reload the grant tables.



FLUSH PRIVILEGES;


now exit from mysql by following command



exit;


now restart mysql server by following command



service mysql restart


Hope this may help



Thank you.
