MySQL secure root account

chathura86

hi,

is there a way to install mysql in such a way that even
the os administrator cannot change or reset the mysql root password.

the requirement is that i have an application which use mysql as the database. that application will be installed in clients machine. i want to make that database secure that users will not be allowed to directly log in to the database and view/change data. application install does the mysql installation and it creates the mysql root account so mysql root account password will not be shown to the user.

please send me your solutions

Regards
