Setting up new instance of MySQL what is Current Root Password?
mysql
Solution
The standard password for user root is simply: password
Each user had its own password. So a password must belong to a user. So the only difference of password are just what they contain.
root is AFAIK the only user created upon installation. Did you create a new user after installation?
Problem
I am new to MySQL and am setting up a new instance of MySQL using the Windows Installer and am being prompted for two passwords. The Current Root Password and the MySQL Root Password. Is there a standard Current Root Password for new installations? What is the difference between the two passwords.
