Plesk mysql root password?

steitieh · Jan 12, 2017

I have just installed Plesk on a VPS, how can I log into MySQL as root user in Plesk? I want to find root password. Does Plesk have default root password? If so where is storing this?

I'm not 100% on this but I think plesk renames for root user to "admin" Plesk will also not allow you to use a password in plain text it only accepts the encrypted version.

You can show unencypted password using

Code:

 /usr/local/psa/bin/admin --show-password

Code:

 cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow

This will show you the password encrypted which you can use to login.

Try this to login

Code:

 mysql -u admin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`

Like I said not 100% sure about all this, Plesk might of made changes in the current version, but this has worked for me in older versions of the panel.

Virtubox would be the best person to talk to about Plesk, he's kind of our resident Plesk guru
