If you've forgotten your MySQL root password or need to reset it for security reasons, don't worry - you can easily reset it following these steps:

1. Stop the MySQL server if it is running.
2. Start the MySQL server in safe mode with privilege bypass.
3. Connect to the MySQL server as the root user.
4. Set a new root password using the ALTER USER command.
