ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO)
I followed the instructions in stage 2 of https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-ubuntu-18-04#step-2-—-installing-mysql
I have tries removing and purging and re-installing in case I made a mistake. If i did I made the same mistake again. What might it be?

Hey friend!
How are you passing the user/pass to MySQL at that stage? Do you have a /root/.my.cnf file with a password already defined?
Maybe that will give me an idea of how best to tackle it.
