Hello. I just set up my first droplet. I just don’t know what the credentials are for enter to mysql database.
They emailed me the root user with a password. I changed it on my first login trough ssh. But I just dont know if those credentials are the same for mysql cause they dont work. I also tried ‘root’ and ‘password’ and doesn’t work too.

Already figured it out. Once you SSH you will see an output on the screen, included in that output will be the MySQL login credentials.
