Use the following procedure to reset the password for all MySQL root accounts:
1) Log on to your system as Administrator.
2) Stop the MySQL server if it is running. For a server that is running as a Windows service, go to the Services manager: From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, then Services. Find the MySQL service in the list and stop it.
3) Create a text file containing the following statements. Replace the password with the password that you want to use.
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
The UPDATE statement resets the password for all root accounts, and the FLUSH statement tells the server to reload the grant tables into memory so that it notices the password change.
4) Save the file. For this example, the file will be named C:\mysql-init.txt.
5) Open a console window to get to the command prompt: From the Start menu, select Run, then enter cmd as the command to be run.
6) Start the MySQL server with the special --init-file option (notice that the backslash in the option value is doubled):
C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld --init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt
NOTE : If you installed MySQL to a location other than C:\mysql, adjust the command accordingly.
--defaults-file="C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.6\\my.ini"
--init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt
Congratulations, you should now be able to connect to the MySQL server as root using the new password. Stop the MySQL server, then restart it in normal mode again. If you run the server as a service, start it from the Windows Services window. If you start the server manually, use whatever command you normally use.

- If you installed MySQL using the MySQL Installation Wizard, you may need to specify a --defaults-file option:
--defaults-file="C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.6\\my.ini"
--init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt
- The appropriate --defaults-file setting can be found using the Services Manager: From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, then Services. Find the MySQL service in the list, right-click it, and choose the Properties option. The Path to executable field contains the --defaults-file setting.
