Mageia forum

hi,

i forgot (again) how i made this thing work so i thought it would be nice to ask someone make a little guide (or i'll post one when i remember)

i am at that stage where i get to enter the user and password, and root is the user, but what is the password?
changed some files that start with 'no, do not edit' and nothing, entered phpmyadmin/setup and nothing

so maybe when i wake up i'll remember or i'll read here

mariadb (formerly MySQL) does not have a root password defined by default. If this is a new installation, the first thing you should do is to define one with

Code: Select all

mysqladmin -u root password NewPassword

where NewPassword is the password you define and should Not be the same as the system root password.

I f you have already defined a root password and cannot remember what it is then do this.
