After my fresh installation of MySQL 8.0.24 on Ubuntu 20.10, I was unable to login with mysql -u root and gives me "Error 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'"

mysql -u root

which results in

Error 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

However, I was able to login with sudo mysql -u root.

sudo mysql -u root

I guess this is because super user in linux is the root user.
