MySQL Passwort changed during Installation

[Michael_Lorenz]

Is it possible, that the script changes my admin password for MySQL? I can not connect to my MySQL Server any more.

No, Plesk doesn't change passwords without your request. But Plesk renames the initial root to "admin" in your MySQL - database for security reasons, after you installed Plesk and stores the password with encryption.

To connect to your MySQL - database as admin over a terminal, please use the command as root:

mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`​
