Root passwords
The MySQL root password is required for database restores. Ubuntu (by default) doesn’t set a password for the MySQL “root” user during installation. The schema used by MySQL is not as insecure as you might think, but it could still be hardened nonetheless. A missing root password may cause issues during restores, depending upon the version you use.
The MySQL “root” user and your Ubuntu “root” user passwords are not the same thing.
Creating a root password is recommended for improved security.
If you currently don’t have a root password:
| Code Block |
|---|
mysql -u root -e "ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'rootpass'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" |
replace
rootpasswith any memorable root password.
If you have a root password and wish to change it:
| Code Block |
|---|
mysql -u root -p -e "ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'rootpass'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" |
...
remember, you are using MySQL (not MariaDB). Follow the correct instructions.
How to examine your password configuration:
To test if you have a MySQL password set, use:
...
the insecure authorization plugin is using “auth_socket” (which is native to newer Ubuntu versions and the default on DO droplets).
This is what should happen:
| Code Block |

mysql -u root -p |
