Everytime I login, I am welcomed with this message:
WELCOME TO DIGITALOCEAN'S BETA LAMP STACK
-------------------
Please be sure to change your root MySQL password; current MySQL password is "password"
You can change the MySQL password with the following command:
mysqladmin -u root -p'password' password newpassword
------------------
please send comments and suggestions to images@digitalocean.com
------------------
You have new mail.
I changed my password on mysql and I don’t have a mail server on. What does my server tries to tell me and how do I dismiss them?
This textbox defaults to using Markdown to format your answer.
You can type !ref in this text area to quickly search our full set of tutorials, documentation & marketplace offerings and insert the link!
This appears to be an early LAMP one-click droplet. You should be able to remove this message by deleting the file /etc/motd.tail
In addition to what @Woet mentioned, the quickest way to check your mail would just be to cat /var/mail/root, assuming you’re logged in as root.
