Hi,
Plesk renames Mysql 'root' account to 'admin' when the Panel is installed. To get root privileges simply login with the 'admin' username instead. The password is the same as the admin password in Plesk. You can find it in /etc/psa/.psa.shadow. I think that you can rename it but consequences can be unpredictable. Especially during Plesk upgrade procedure.

Not Parallels, not Odin, not Panel. Just Plesk. Plesk.
