Change MySQL Root Password in Ubuntu
@Maxhealthlabs:
We did change the password via the Linode dashboard. I am still getting this error.
You changed the MySQL root password from the Linode dashboard? I am not sure that is possible.
that should do the trick.
system root password and mysql root password are not the same animal, they may be exactly the same character wise they may not be exactly the same character wise. Important thing is they are not the same entity.
