I want to experiment with Wordpress, so it seemed a good idea to set

- until I got to step 3 - connect to mysql as root. How do you do that when
you haven't set up passwords? I must be missing something really obvious, but
I'm absolutely stuck. Can someone kick me in the right direction please?
By default MySQL root password is empty;
You can change it by running:
mysqladmin -u root password $MY_NEW_PASSWORD
or
mysql_secure_installation
PS.
This is Fedora/KDE specific list, for general question you should use
users list instead:
