What is the root password for MySQL (Linux with Plesk)?

By default Plesk disables the MySQL root username, root access is then gained using username 'admin' - it's using a same password as your Plesk admin user.


* Note: It only applies to Linux VPS with Plesk. If you're on Bare Plan (without Plesk), you still have to install MySQL and there's no password by default for root user.
