What is the root password asked by "mysql_secure_installation" script on a debian 9 system that was setup using SSH (i.e. no root password)?
$ mysqlsecureinstallation
NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!
In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we’ll need the current
password for the root user. If you’ve just installed MariaDB, and
you haven’t set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@'localhost’
