I just installed Mythbuntu, what is the MySQL root password?

Question

After installing Mythbuntu, I am unable to access MySQL as I don't remember setting a root password. What is the default password?

Answer 1

Early versions allowed blank root password. Newer versions set root password to the main user login password during the install.

Answer 2

Please reset MySQL password as below:

1. Ctrl + Alt + T to launch terminal
2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5
3. New password for the MySQL "root" user: mysqlsamplepassword
4. Repeat password for the MySQL "root" user: mysqlsamplepassword

Wish it helps!

Have a nice day!

Answer 3

MYSQL Administrator gives great Management GUI with debian-sys-maint account whose username and password are present in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf you can configure all accounts as super user
