Mac install - forgot root password

I installed MySQL Community 5.7.13 and MySQL Workbench 6.3.7 on a Mac. Install is complete and services are started. I may have had a older install on the same Mac. I don't believe I supplied a password for root during the install. Problem is I can't connect in Workbench since I don't know the root password. I've tried some commands in Terminal to reset password, but I can't get connect in Terminal either. I would like to either completely uninstall and start over or figure out how to supply a new root password.
