I just install mysql-server in my laptop with some of command like this:
wget -c https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.11-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.11-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
During time of install, i did not receive any prompt about asign password for root user, then i try to reset password of root account, i try some way in internet but when i do it i received error:
2020-08-27T08:25:54.149679Z mysqld_safe Directory '/var/run/mysqld' for UNIX socket file don't exists.
or
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I command find / -type s and search socket file in laptop for mysql but i can not find anything for mysql.
And finally i decided to reinstall mysql but when i command sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql* to remove mysql in my laptop so i received error:
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package mysql-apt-config_0.8.11-1_all.deb
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'mysql-apt-config_0.8.11-1_all.deb'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'mysql-apt-config_0.8.11-1_all.deb'
I don't know how to reset my root password or how to totally reinstall mysql in my laptop.
Some body can help me ??
Sorry about my grammar!
There is an option to set up your root password during installation, you probably installed it wrongly. You can follow through this quick tutorial to install mysql server on ubuntu.
