Changing the MySQL root password

The MySQL database is created with the default root password admysql.

Warning

Before using BMC Application Diagnostics, you must change the MySQL root password to avoid security breaches and unauthorized access.

The following files are used to change the root password:

  • (Windows) change-db-root-password.bat
  • (Linux) change-db-root-password.sh

These files are located in both portal\bin\db and collector\bin\db.

Note

If the BMC Application Diagnostics Portal and the BMC Application Diagnostics Collector are installed on the same host, both the portal and collector databases are affected by changing the password, regardless of which script that you use to change the password.

See Administering-the-database for instructions on changing the MySQL root password.
