[SOLVED] MySQL login

Hi all

for the life of me I can not set a root password for MySQL

it automatically lets me in from the command line, its been some time and I've search all over nothing seems to work it just lets me straight in with out been asked for a password from the command line

Using Ubuntu Server 18.04, my MySQL is Server version: 5.7.33-0ubuntu0.18.04.1

any idea's as its driving me nuts

cheers

oh, yes, would be nice to tell us exactly what did you try, what's happened exactly, what was successful, what went wrong, what failed, if there was any error message....

Got it sorted

I kept getting this error

Failed! Error: Your password does not satisfy the current policy requirements

so I came across this page to guide me a little
