Please REMEMBER to SET A PASSWORD for the MySQL root USER!

To did so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin-u root password ' new-password '

/usr/bin/mysqladmin-u root-h browsing04.china.nsn-net.net password ' new-password '

Alternatively you can run:

/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
