Hi,
I had installed Fedora Core-9. I tried to login into MySql using root as username. but its asking for password. Is there any password ?

Hi supreedkumar,

I have Fedora 9 installed and can confirm that the MySQL root account still doesn't have a password after a fresh install. What happens when you just hit enter?

Hi,

I am also facing same problem in Fedora 9 fresh installation. I could not login in mysql. I have started mysqld service, but when I want to start mysql from command line firsttime, it is displaying a message that mysql access denied using password like that.

Please anybody help me by telling how to start mysql client first time. I am using mysql in Fedora 7 and 3 also, but never it gives this type of problem, I could not start mysql command line.

Hello guys, I am having exactly the same issue....I can't log in after i install mysql on fedora 9. Anyone knows how to fix this. ? I cant even update the users table because there are no users in it if i start with mysqld_safe with skip grant.
