How do I turn off the mysql password validation?

Question

Here is what I do to remove the validate password plugin:

Login to the mysql server as root mysql -h localhost -u root -p
Run the following sql command: uninstall plugin validate_password;
If last line doesn’t work (new mysql release), you should execute UNINSTALL COMPONENT 'file://component_validate_password';

I would not recommend this solution for a production system. I used
this solution on a local mysql instance for development purposes only.
