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.

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.
