please see /etc/EFA-Config it contains the root password.

Be sure to not change it as it might break future updates.

Can someone tell me where the password is now located for the SQL database? Is it still in /etc/EFA-Config - I have a password/string in there which I have tried with various user accounts but none work!

Any help appreciated.

I'm on 3.0.1.5.

I've worked this out now!

also consider this so you don't have to wonder about the password:

Code: Select all

mysql -uroot -p`grep ROOT /etc/EFA-Config | awk -F: '{print $2}'`
