For some reason I no longer have a password set when logging into mysql. I have the following when I access the MySql Database Server and I haven’t changed my password.
Any help would be appreciated.
Webmin needs to know your MySQL administration login and password in order to manage your database. Please enter your administration username (usually root) and password below.
The full MySQL error message was : DBI connect failed : Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)
My root password is no longer recognized. No one has access to my system. This was unusual because of the message from Webmin in my first post, it was like it forgot it. I have tried various methods of changing the root password but to no avail. This started happening after the upgrade to Webmin 1.510.
what i did is to change the password for the user xxxxx in his account from virtualmin…
so i did…
edit databases–>password–>custom password and i change it to xxxx (this is the pass i used in my database setting…) as it was set by default the administration passwords so it needed to be the password for accesing the domain in my server).
(this eventully change the password for accessing phpmyadmin but i beleive this is set up to be like that sometime and i can’t be asked when…)
