Without sudo login to MySQL Server in Ubuntu 18

While after successful installation of MySql Server in Ubuntu 18, you receive an error message from the terminal and as well as login from PHPMyAdmin using the browser.

Error – ERROR 1698 (28000) : Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’

Without sudo login to mysql server in Ubuntu 18

Checked mysql service using this command and it was running

sudo service mysqld status

I tried with sudo mysql -u root -p and after putting password I could able to login.

It means root user needs sudo permission to login to MySQL.

Solution-1

Create another user and give permission to the required database.

CREATE USER ‘user1’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO ‘user1’@’localhost’;
now user1 can login without sudo requirement:

mysql -u user1 -p

n:b-user1 is the user name of the new user created

Solution-2

Login to mysql using sudo

sudo mysql -u root -p
use mysql
UPDATE user SET plugin=’mysql_native_password’ WHERE User=’root’;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

After this you can login to MySQL without sudo but there is no password set. So to give a password please do run below command.

mysql> ALTER USER ‘root’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY ‘newpassword’;

Have mentioned two solutions to login to MySQL. Hope it will solve the error, in case you find any issue please do add a comment.
