Linux 下，mysql数据库报无法登陆错误：ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘admin’@'l

今天在别人的服务器上登录mysql发现无法登陆（Mysql别人实现安装好的）
密码和用户名都是正确的，但登录后报如下错误：
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘admin’@'localhost’ (using password: YES)

尝试了加入-h和-port也无法登陆，最后只能重新修改了。注--该方法也可以用于当忘记数据库密码时，找回数据库密码用

如下是我执行过程，完全执行后，可以顺利登录数据库：linux下的执行脚本：
