Default password for root
Posted by: Rodelio Rodriguez

I've installed MySQL Server and in the steps that can be seen below there was no specifying the password for the user root but peeking at the users table of the mysql I can see that there is a password for it. I can change it find but what I need is to determine what the password is since I am going to connect to a computer where it has the same user and password. TIA.

1. Run mysql-essential-5.0.24a-win32.msi
2. After the installation,
MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard activates

NOTE: If the server is already installed, you can activate the
MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard by Clicking
Start---Programs---MySQL---MySQL Server 5.0---MySQL Server Instance Config Wizard

3. In the MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard,
Select the following options:
1. Detailed Configuration
2. Server Machine
3. Non-Transactional Database Only
4. Online Transaction Processing (OLTP)
5. Enable TCP/IP Networking (Checked)
--- Port Number: 7164
Enable Strict Mode (Checked)
6. Standard Character Set
7. Install As Windows Service (Checked)
--- Service Name: MySQL
8. Modify Security Settings (Unchecked)
