Hi ,
I wanted to start with MariaDB and installed phpmyadmin via AppStore.
According WD I tried

acc.

I tried to reset the root password with following command:
python3 /usr/bin/mysql_reset.py -r using SSH .

The SSH console reports an error…at this point I do not know how to proceed/handle the message.
Any expert here, who can give me a hint what to do?

Any hints how I can get access to phpMyAdmin?

Regards
Joerg

PS: The network database is set to ‘ON without remote access’
