I have forgotten my password for my MySQL server and it won't let me configure my MySQL server as I don't know the root password. MySQL is not currently installed on my machine ; I am trying to re-install it. Does anyone know how to change the root password during re-installation?

3If MySql is not installed on your computer, surely it has no password either? – GSerg Mar 27 '20 at 20:10

Actually it does have a password as the server was previously set up on my machine. – Ahmed Dhayib Mar 27 '20 at 20:22

MySql *is* the server. I assume now you are talking about reinstalling a client-side tool such as MySql Workbench. – GSerg Mar 27 '20 at 20:24

Yes I've uploaded a picture of where I cannot enter my password. – Ahmed Dhayib Mar 27 '20 at 20:26

@GSerg I have edited in a picture of the errors that I get when I try to reset using the method. – Ahmed Dhayib Mar 28 '20 at 09:40
