What s the default password of mariadb on fedora

Question

I installed mysql through yum just now and the OS fedora installed mariadb for me  I know mariadb is a new branch of mysql  but I can t understand why it does not ask me for setting the password  I have tried for 123456 and so on  but I failed   My fedora is new  and this is the first time to install mysql mariadb  What should I do for it

By default  a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user  allowing anyone to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for them   This is intended only for testing  and to make the installation go a bit smoother   You should remove them before moving into a production environment

Had the same issue after installing mysql mariadb 10 3  The password was not NULL so simply pressing ENTER didn t worked for me  So finally had to change the password  I followed instruction from here  In nutshell  stop the server   sudo systemctl stop mariadb service   gain access to the server through a backdoor by starting the database server and skipping networking and permission tables   sudo mysqld safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking  amp    login as root  sudo mysql -u root   then change server password  use mysql  update user set password PASSWORD  new password here   where User  root     Note that after MySQL 5 7  the password field in mysql user table field was removed  now the field name is  authentication string   So use appropriate table name based on mysql version  finally save changes  amp  restart the server  flush privileges  sudo systemctl stop mariadb service sudo systemctl start mariadb service

Lucups  Floris is right  but you comment that this didn t solve your problem  I ran into the same symptoms  where mysql  mariadb  will not accept the blank password it should accept  and   var lib mysql  does not exist   I found that this Moonpoint com page was on-point  Perhaps  like me  you tried to start the mysqld service instead of the mariadb service  Try   systemctl start mariadb service systemctl status mysqld service   Followed by the usual   mysql secure installation

I hit the same issue and none of the solutions worked  I then bumped an answer in stackexchange dba which lead to this link  So here is what I did   ran sudo mysqld safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking  amp  ran sudo mysql -uroot and got into mysql console run ALTER USER root localhost identified via  unix socket  and  flush privileges  consecutively to allow for password-less login  If you want to set the password then you need to do one more step  that is running ALTER USER root localhost IDENTIFIED VIA mysql native password  and SET PASSWORD   PASSWORD  YourPasswordHere    consecutively  UPDATE Faced this issue recently and here is how I resolved it with recent version  but before that some background  Mariadb does not require a password when is run as root  So first run it as a root  Then once in the Mariadb console  change password there  If you are content with running it as admin  you can just keep doing it but I find that cumbersome especially because I cannot use that with DB Admin Tools  TL DR here is how I did it on Mac  should be similar for  nix systems  sudo mariadb-secure-installation then follow instructions on the screen  Hope this will help someone and serve me a reference for future problems

I had the same problem  It s true the password is empty  but even so the error message is shown   The solution is just using  sudo  so    sudo mysql   will open the mysql tool  For securing the database  you should use sudo again     sudo mysql secure installation

The default password is empty   More accurately  you don t even NEED a password to login as root on the localhost  You just need to BE root  But if you need to set the password the first time  if you allow remote access to root   you need to use   sudo mysql secure installation   Enter empty password  then follow the instructions   The problem you are having is that you need to BE root when you try to login as root from the local machine   On Linux  mariadb will accept a connection as root on the socket  localhost  ONLY IF THE USER ASKING IT IS ROOT  Which means that even if you try  mysql -u root -p   And have the correct password you will be refused access  Same goes for  mysql secure installation   Mariadb will always refuse the password because the current user is not root  So you need to call them with sudo  or as the root user on your machine  So locally you just want to use   sudo mysql   and  sudo mysql secure installation   When moving from mysql to mariadb it took I will for me to figure this out

If your DB is installed properly and typed the wrong password  the error thrown will be   ERROR 1698  28000   Access denied for user  root   localhost   The following error indicates you DB hasn t been started installed completely  Your command is not able to locate and talk with your DB instance   ERROR 2002  HY000   Can t connect to local MySQL server through socket   var run mysqld mysqld sock   2  No such file or directory    Good practice would be to change your password after a fresh install    sudo service mysql stop   mysqld safe --skip-grant-tables  amp    sudo service mysql start   sudo mysql -u root  MariaDB   none   gt  use mysql  MariaDB  mysql  gt  update user set password PASSWORD  snafu8   where User  root   MariaDB  mysql  gt  flush privileges  MariaDB  mysql  gt  exit     sudo service mysql restart   OR  mysqladmin -u root password  enter password here

From https   mariadb com kb en mysql secure installation        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    the password will be blank  I think that s your answer

mariadb uses by defaults UNIX SOCKET plugin to authenticate user root  https   mariadb com kb en mariadb unix socket-authentication-plugin       Because he has identified himself to the operating system  he does   not need to do it again for the database    so you need to login as the root user on unix to login as root in mysql mariadb   sudo mysql   if you want to login with root from your normal unix user  you can disable the authentication plugin for root    Beforehand you can set the root password with mysql secure installation  default password is blank   then to let every user authenticate as root login with   shell  sudo mysql -u root  mysql  use mysql   mysql  update user set plugin    where User  root    mysql  flush privileges   mysql   q
