Description:
Instructions are mentioned in the below link to reset the root password if it is lost.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html

However these steps doesn't work from 5.7.6 where password column removed as part of wl6409.

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';

should be changed to 

UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';

How to repeat:
review https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html page and change as necessary 

Suggested fix:
as above

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly.

Fixed in mysqldoc rev 42389. Closed.

Further work on this section:

* Use ALTER USER or SET PASSWORD. No direct update of user table with
  UPDATE, and no reference to columns in which the password is stored.
  This means we don't modify *all* root accounts at once. No biggie,
  the important one is root@localhost, and we now tell the user to
  use a different host name to modify the password for a different root
  account.
* Parallel revisions for both Windows and Unix, and for the "generic"
  instructions.
* Update "Program Files" to "ProgramData" one pathname (5.5+)
* Eliminate some wording inconsistencies among subsections that have
  crept in over time.
