Q. I have just installed mysql. I don't know how to connect as well as what is my root or mysql admin password for MySQL?
A. Your default mysql password is empty (i.e. no password). For example:
- Username: root
- Password: empty
However if you use something like Plesk software use following information:
- User: admin
- Password: admin
Above is just a default password. If you are not sure about password, it is best to ask to person who has installed mysql for you.
You should follow me on twitter here or grab rss feed to keep track of new changes.

Nice. I just got gifted a database in which NO-ONE knows the root password. I shall now have to scour the web to find a way around it. Just thought you should know that you’re not alone.
my sql is the best known database … then why is there to reset the password of the database … it can be a big security risk.
