Yikes. Stop the server. Then in a cmd client run ...

mysqld --skip-grant-tables --datadir="C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\Data"

If that errors out, fix the error and try again. When it succeeds, the server is running, so it hangs.

Now in a second cmd window run mysql without authentication arguments (which is the whole point, remember?).
