Hello, I tried to install the last DoliDeb Version with Dolibarr 3.5.8 on my new ubuntu System. As you can see at the screenshots below everything goes fine, till the question of Superuser and Password. The Login name for database owner is given from the system named “dolibarr” My questions are: - What is the password for the database owner dolibarr? - What is the right entry for the superuser name and password? The DoliDeb installation package must set these entrys, but I couldn`t find it… Or is there a way to reset it? Thank you! ![1.png](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/1/130d5ab1a5d44147062e69b268fa4c00020c3fcf.png) ![2.png](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/6/67ab6e0c5edcf9c9ad32de1667aebdd51bdf1c28.png) ![3.png](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/4/420db0d14882977a6441030b166df340d5225510.png) ![4.png](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/1/16b5045e54b3dac7a26b98ad5620582bc5ef7bba.png) ![5.png](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/c/cf70539479788f54a8f5db2aaf02966123553058.png) ![6.png](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/5/5ce3008020363be222db41c515d1e73eadc8a350.png) ---

Hi, When you are on page related to screenshot you sent, you must fill the last field (root password) with the root password of mysql. This password was set when mysql was installed the first time. If you don’t remind it, you can reset it following tutorial [https://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/FAQ\_I\_Lost\_my\_database\_password#Reset\_the\_root\_password\_of\_Mysql\_2](https://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/FAQ_I_Lost_my_database_password#Reset_the_root_password_of_Mysql_2) ---

Maybe this leads to a solution (in German): [https://blog.v-gar.de/2016/07/solved-error-1698-28000-in-mysqlmariadb/](https://blog.v-gar.de/2016/07/solved-error-1698-28000-in-mysqlmariadb/) Best regards ---

> [@eldy](#): > > Hi, > … > This password was set when mysql was installed the first time. That is the point. I’ve never set a password :unhappy: I have choosen the Dolideb Installation and that is including mysql Server, php and apache. The ubuntu client is new installed and Dolideb Installation was the first I’ve done. That is why I find it strange… but it seems to me to go this way, or the one casati wrote down below. I thought it must be a bug inside Dolideb that the password is preset and someone shoud know that. ---

Good Afternoon! I have the same issue - new install of Debian. New to Debian and Linux and Dolibarr! I have been trying to install Dolideb and get to the same point as several others in this thread. Databas Server - Superuser access Login: Password: Access denied for user “xxxx@localhost” using password: YES etc. etc. Someone suggested i needed the password from MySql installation. To my knowledge, I have not installed MySql - as far as I understand, this is part of this package installation. Any help for this? Thanks! MAG ---

Hey MAG, my problem was solved when Ubuntu 14.04 was installed! It didn´t work with the 16.04 version… Last week I´ve installed it with the Ubuntu Server Version of 16.04 and that worked perfect. Sorry, no better news. ---

Hi - I did get Dolibarr running on Debian but then other problems convinced me to try Lubunto (16.10) . I got past the first hurdle onlt to run aground on the same problem as Ndrosis with the MySql syntax error. Anyone with a clue about this? Thanks MAG ---

I got a solution. Aparently dolideb package doesn’t install a mysql service so I fixed that with mysql-server-8.0. And then I changed the root password to match the empty string of the install. ```auto sudo apt install mysql-server-8.0 systemctl status mysql sudo mysql ``` In mysql\> ```auto ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY ''; exit; ``` Then testing it. ```auto mysql -u root -p ``` After that the installation went well, just asked for the database user to have a password.
