sudo mysql_secure_installation

Hey @jrmurchin,

That’s easily resolvable, don’t worry.

1. Start the mysql client:

sudo mysql

2. Run the following SQL query:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'SetRootPasswordHere';
exit

Replace SetRootPasswordHere with your actual password. 5. Then run the following command to secure it:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

6. When promoted for the password enter the whatever you set when you ran the above SQL query
7. That is all.

Hi there,

You should be able to resolve this by following these steps:

1. Start a new MySQL session:

   sudo mysql
   

2. Run the following SQL query:

   ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'your-password-here';
   exit
   

   Note: change the your-password-here with an actual secure password

3. Then run the mysql_secure_installation command again:

   sudo mysql_secure_installation
   

4. When needed enter the your-password-here

Let me know how it goes!

Best,

Bobby
