[vlaszlo]

I started mysql-server, and i not know the default password.
I have read on net the default username is "root", and password is "toor".
When I have installed the system, set my password, after set it to mysql, but no working with this password as well.
I'd like to ask, how can i login to mysql?

Thanks!

All the above worked ok, for me too, thanks !,
but after a fresh installation from ' kali 1.05 iso ' ,
you need to do theese steps before follow the above proccess :
1.

 mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld

2.

 chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld

In kali linux mysql has no password by default, so you need to set the password for the first time. You can use mysql workbench to have a gui. MySQL Workbench is present in the repository

Then just connect to your mysql server without password and set your new password.

Try running

/etc/init.d/mysql [Enter]

You should get

mysql>

ie mysql prompt

You can enter commands without password. If you do get a password just type [Enter] and see what happens
