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

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

  • The default password is empty in older versions - You can try to log in using "mysql -u root". In newer versions as said, root password is the same as the login password. – BrownE Nov 03 '11 at 16:11

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!

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
