SME Server uses a secure random password for the MySQL root user. A new MySQL root password has to be generated to overwrite the SL root MySQL password. There should be no reason to change or use the MySQL password, so we '''strongly''' advise you never to change or use the MySQL root password, even though many how-to's are applications 'require this'. You can grant permissions to a (new) MySQL user for a certain database as system root. How to do this is explained [[MySQL#Resetting_the_MySQL_root_password|here]]. As root issue the following commands:
 
  cd /var/service/mysqld
 
  cd /var/service/mysqld
 
  sv d .
 
  sv d .
