How to configure MySQL
Submitted by ravisagar on Thu, 01/03/2008 - 04:24.
By default the root password for MySQL is blank, but it is not safe.
Set the root password by entering the following in terminal.
mysqladmin -u root -p password 'password'
This will set the root password.
Now you can login to the MySQL using the password you have just created.
mysql -u root -p
This will ask you for the root password, just enter the password to access the MySQL console.
