I used mysql 5.7.16 community and centos 7.
I'm following a video tutorial to install mysql:
After starting mysql, I can see status is alive (running) with service mysqld status
.
But I can' get anything by: grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log
msyqld.log (ignore normal logs):
[Warning] InnoDB: Cannot open table mysql/plugin from the internal data dictionary of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists.
mysqld: Table 'mysql.plugin' doesn't exist
[ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table. Please run mysql_upgrade to create it.
[Warning] InnoDB: Cannot open table mysql/gtid_executed from the internal data dictionary of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists.
mysqld: Table 'mysql.gtid_executed' doesn't exist
[Warning] Gtid table is not ready to be used. Table 'mysql.gtid_executed' cannot be opened.
[Warning] InnoDB: Cannot open table mysql/server_cost from the internal data dictionary of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists.

[Warning] InnoDB: Cannot open table mysql/time_zone_leap_second from the internal data dictionary of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists.
[Warning] Can't open and lock time zone table: Table 'mysql.time_zone_leap_second' doesn't exist trying to live without them
[Warning] InnoDB: Cannot open table mysql/servers from the internal data dictionary of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists.
[ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't exist
Appreciate any help!

I simply restarted mysql and searched:
service mysqld start
grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log
Default password was displayed.

If there is no password, don't worry. Do it.
sudo mysql_secure_installation
just press the enter as you don't have password.

I figured this out.
The key point is need to remove /var/lib/mysql manually.
