Resetting MySQL

I can't seem to get into my local system's MySQL database, as the root user. If I ever set it up, there's nothing interesting there. Can I wipe it out and start over somehow? Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

I tried resetting the password, and it almost seemed to work, but it didn't accept the new password I'd set.
 
I've never actually had to do a reset, but if you go in /etc/my.conf there should be a datadir variable. I wonder what happens if you move the stuff in that folder then restart it. It might be same as a fresh restart then you can use mysqladmin command to set the password.

Not sure if this will actually work though.
