I'm sorry that you've forgotten the password for your database server's 'root' account. I've actually tested this on my personal database server using the following links as references.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html
https://www.howtoforge.com/setting-changing-resetting-mysql-root-passwords
I would give both links a try if one of them doesn't help with your situation.
