Hi @tyrorrico,

If you’ve just installed MySQL/MariaDB manually there shouldn’t be any root password configured and MySQL Secure Install should add one.

Additionally, if it still asks you about a password, please try to run the following command

sudo mysql_secure_installation

The key here is sudo.

Let me know how it goes

Regards,
KFSys
