Mysql password expired. Can't connect

I just wiped my Mac and did a fresh install of El Capitan. I'm struggling to connect to Mysql now. Having gone through a web server setup process, I've created a simple PHP test file:

<?php
  $conn = new mysqli("127.0.0.1", "root", "xxxxxxxx");
  if ($conn->connect_error) echo "Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error; 
  else echo "Connected successfully";
  phpinfo();
?>

When I run it, I get this error:

Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/1862): Your password has expired. To log in you must change it using a client that supports expired passwords. in /Users/rich/Documents/DESIGN/test/index.php on line 3
Connection failed: Your password has expired. To log in you must change it using a client that supports expired passwords.

I've never seen that response from a connection before. How do I fix it if I can't connect?

EDIT

In terminal I entered the command:

mysql -u root -p

This asked me for my password (current one) which I put in. I now have access to mysql commands but anything I try results in this error:

ERROR 1820 (HY000): You must reset your password using ALTER USER statement before executing this statement.

How do I reset the password using ALTER USER?
