Unlike your original query which was related to Sandbox based mysql (that uses 'hadoop' as root user password by default) , Your current query is very specific to MySQL instead of HDP Sandbox specific settings.

You should refer to standard MySQL documentation in order to know how to reset the root passwords: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html

- If you will use default sandbox then the mysql root user password will be 'hadoop'.

the thing is that you have a passed your localhosts to your VM sandbox. the sandbox itselfs contains its own mysql instance. within sqoop you are not pointing to the mysql on your windows but on your vm..
