Install script changes mysql root password?

[sanushen]

Issue is outlined here - https://forum.froxlor.org/index.php?/topic/19744-used-install-script-now-my-mysql-root-password-is-not-working

I tried this install script the first time, it reset my root mysql password.
I reset the mysql root password, ensured I could log in as root and ran the install script again but it failed.

Error:

I cannot log in to mysql as root, using the password that I reset it to?

os, dbms + version? When you reset the mysql root password, does the webinstaller work?

Hello, exactly same problem here.
When i change the root password for my self doesn't work neither.
Server version: 10.5.15-MariaDB-0+deb11u1 Debian 11

Please try adding a custom privileged user for the 'root' part as shown here https://docs.froxlor.org/general/installation/aptpackage.html#4-setup-mysql

It is recommended not to use the default 'root'
