I have a very big heads-up for you

The password field in mysql.user is no longer in existence. Passwords are now stored in the column called authentication_string. I wrote about this a while ago:

This may explain the reason you got this error message

2016-08-01T07:29:43.284662Z 0 [ERROR] Fatal error: mysql.user table is damaged. Please run mysql_upgrade.

You need to run mysql_upgrade using the --upgrade-system-tables option

mysql-upgrade --upgrade-system-tables

This will copy the contents of the password column into the authentication_string column, remove the password column, and other adjustments needed for MySQL 5.7.

CAVEAT

This may still not work because you are leaping 3 major versions

What to do ??? You could on of the following

Upgrading from 5.1 to 5.7 is not that trivial.

Plan A: Upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5, then to 5.6, then to 5.7. At each step, be sure to run mysql_upgrade.

Plan B: Dump the data; remove 5.1; install 5.7; load the data.

There are many discussions in forums about either technique; review them. I have only given you an overview.
