hello,
I am following these instructions
(
https://fedoramagazine.org/howto-install-wordpress-fedora/) to install MariaDb on Fedora
34.
Trying to set the "root" password for mysql is not working for me, doing:
sudo mysqladmin -u root password
Gives error:
Warning: Since password will be sent to server in plain text, use ssl connection to ensure
password safety.
mysqladmin: unable to change password; error: 'You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to
use near '() IDENTIFIED BY 'mynewpassword'' at line 1'
I am asking this question here because there is at least another person from Fedora had
the exact same problem, but no solution was provided.

I don't believe the password for the 'root' user has been set for Mysql. I can
start mysql simply by typing 'sudo mysql'.
Should I try to change the password from within mysql? How can I check if a password has
been assigned?
thanks everyone.
