Hi.Mike. You're logging into Mysql as root "mysql -u root" so that means it is run as root.

I just realized this as I entered it again here. So this was not likely the problem. So I opened up a terminal but neglected to do “su -“ and was therefore logged in as rd. I entered echo "SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost = PASSWORD('mylousypassword');" | mysql -u root and I received command prompt indicating the command was successful. But am I not supposed to be root to execute this command? I changed to root, entered the same command, now I get ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO) Thanks On May 14, 2020, at 1:46 PM, Mike Carroll <druidl...@gmail.com<mailto:druidl...@gmail.com>> wrote: Verify your quotes are correct. In the command you pasted, the single quote in front of the password phrase is a smart/curly quote, not a single quote like the one after the password phrase. The command shell thinks you are entering a long string that needs more than one line, and is prompting you to enter more text. To get out of the prompt, press Control-C. Or close the window. Both will work <smile>.

I named the host simonserver, so in the terminal I'm logged in as root@simonserver. The last instruction in Final Steps is baffling to me. 4. Set the MariaDB administrator password with the following command (substitute your password for pwd): echo "SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost = PASSWORD('pwd');" | mysql -u root I entered echo "SET PASSWORD FOR root@simonserver = PASSWORD(‘k258bq');" | mysql -u root but now the Terminal just displays the > below my entry. I must have misunderstood. What am I doing wrong? The instructions are really good, but I’m misreading something.
