I am running MySQL 5.7.11 on Windows 10 I am unable to login to root through the command line client since I lost my password. How do I change/reset the old password?

When trying I'm getting this error message:

The access denied is because you're not specifying the -p switch If you know the old password then maybe login to MySql and change it as: 1).login to MySql 2).change to the correct db 3) change the passwd and flush. Mysql -u root -p mysql use mysql; mysql update user set password=PASSWORD('newpass') where User='ENTER-USER-NAME-HERE'.

The common way to solve this seems to use (several answers on stack overflow suggest using this):

I stopped the server before executing the command. But this solution does not work for me.

There is also no entry in the error log:

As I mentioned above, I tried already to just uninstall and reinstall it again, but obviously some data remained. So is there maybe any way to manually delete or reset these files?
