I want to experiment with Wordpress, so it seemed a good idea to set up a local copy. Or maybe not. :-) I started following the guide http://www.if- not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-wordpress-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/ - 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:
