MySQL Ubuntu 16.04

Hi all,

I have installed phpmyadmin on my LAMP droplet using this tutorial

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu-16-04

but I cannot login as root user using the password i setup during installation.

Any ideas?

Thank you
