I just spun a new droplet with an embedded ssh key, from a wordpress image.
Where do I find the root password for MySQL?

ah, so that’s it? stupid me… never even tried that! thought that was only for wp’s db.
thanks.
Hmm. I see only wordpress admin password in motd. Where mysql root password?
Update: I’ve actually tried the credentials shown in the MOTD and it doesn’t have root access.
I ended up just spinning a new droplet, from a LAMP image this time. And there, in the MOTD, the root credentials are shown.
Next time:
Yes, the mysql root password is not in the MOTD (message of the day to anyone else following along). So what is the root password?
