I'm attempting to reset the root password. While it seems to be successful (no sql errors & I can see the encrypted values change in the user table) I still cannot login. Any suggestions, thx in advance.

Here's my process

Add skip-grant-tables to my.ini & restart the service.

Execute this sql

use mysql;

update user set password=PASSWORD('1234abcd') where User='root';

select * from user;

3) Remove skip-grant-tables to my.ini & restart the service.

4) Attempt to login with root & the new password using command line or the workbench. Login fails

Don't manually edit the system table. Use the proper command

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new password'
This ensures the right plugin and encoding format is being used, credentials are flushed, ...
