default mysql password

Hi there

I just completed a fresh install of Plesk 8.3 on Centos 5. I let Plesk install mysql and during the installation process, I don't recall setting a root mysql password though one has apparently been created.

Is there a default password that plesk creates when it installs mysql?

thanks for your help!!
 
Hello,

the password for mysql is the same of Plesk password
 
Plesk removes the MySQL root account and creates an account called 'admin'. Its password is the same as the password for the admin account you use to login to Plesk (which is also stored in /etc/psa/.psa.shadow).

If you want to access MySQL from the commandline as the admin user you can do this:

Code:
# mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`
mysql>
