Hi,
I just spun up a new droplet with a pre-config Ubuntu LAMP stack, then logged in as root fine. Changed root passwd and ran the following.
apt-get update mysql_install_db mysql_secure_installation
After entering the root password I get the following message:
Enter current password for root (enter for none): ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)
This has never happened before on any droplet I have created and used. Any pointers much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
