Answer 1

I had the same Problem and the Answer is just Right in front of you, remember when you ran the script while installing mysql like

sudo mysql_secure_installation

there somewhere you chose which password type would you like to chose

There are three levels of password validation policy:

LOW Length >= 8 MEDIUM Length >= 8, numeric, mixed case, and special characters STRONG Length >= 8, numeric, mixed case, special characters and dictionary file

Please enter 0 = LOW, 1 = MEDIUM and 2 = STRONG:

you have to give a password to same policy

here are some sample examples for your passwords:
for type 0: abcdabcd
for type 1: abcd1234
for type 2: ancd@1234
