Root + Wordpress MySQL passwords can be found by running cat ~/.digitalocean_password, it’ll look something like:
root_mysql_pass="eee092f2fjd2858efg36bdh714539b9270f9c263628291"
wordpress_mysql_pass="s38dh37fdndh3ufdjg372830a3929fcndjbf1sdfdf2"
Thanks Jons, I was having the same issue.
Looks like root password is automatically generated and logged in the folder you specified, used “cat” to find the password and logged in as root.
Extra fun for MySQL newbs trying to access their database on a one-click install. Next time I’m setting up from scratch!
