Default password is that there is no password. You can log in to mysql
for example with this command:

mysql -u root

There are also ways to change the password and you will find those
methods from the MySQL manual.

http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/index.html

Which you _will_ bookmark right away, because you will need it later.

Hi ruud,

Have you tried running 'mysql' in a terminal? One thing that aggrevates me
about SuSe (or YaST more precisely) is that it adds an extra layer of
abstraction between the user and the software. If you're intending to use
MySQL for anything important I would recommend installing it from source.

But I digress... Open a terminal and try this:

mysql -u root

If this brings you to the 'mysql>' prompt then you can set the password to
anything you like with a couple simple statements:

mysql> use mysql;
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=Passwo rd('my_pw') WHERE User='root';

The above statement would set your password to "my_pw". Note that strings
should be single quoted. Of course if you don't get the 'mysql>' prompt
you may have to consult the documentation or find a SuSe expert!

HTH,

Bill

Instead of retrying that, I tried building the first example from Ruby For Rails, which worked fine.
