I installed mySQL using
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
didn't notice any request for a password, perhaps I missed it as it took a long while.
I cannot access mysql using
mysql -u root -p
as I don't have a password. Is there any way around this?
I thought of reinstalling it but it says it is already the latest version.
How do I remove it so I can reinstall and avidly wait for the password prompt?
