setting a mysql root password
I just installed mysql-server on Ubuntu 18.0.4.2 LTS and I can now connect to the server just fine when I do mysql but I can't connect when I do mysql -h127.0.0.1 -uroot -p.
When I logged in just now with mysql I did this:
SET PASSWORD = 'mypassword';
But that got me back this warning:
SET PASSWORD has no significance for user 'root'@'localhost' as authentication plugin does not support it.
So how do I set the password for the root user so that I might be able to login with mysql -h127.0.0.1 -uroot -p (which I assume is more analogous to what MySQL Workbench would be doing)?

The issue is that MySQL now trusts the username the client is being run as IF you are connecting via a socket. You need to change to native password auth, and then set a password.
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'mypass';
