Description of problem: sudo mysqladmin -u root -p password secret Enter password: mysqladmin: You cannot use 'password' command as mysqld runs with grant tables disabled (was started with --skip-grant-tables). Use: "mysqladmin flush-privileges password '*'" instead Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mariadb-devel-10.1.24-3.fc25.x86_64 mariadb-10.1.24-3.fc25.x86_64 mariadb-libs-10.1.24-3.fc25.x86_64 mariadb-server-10.1.24-3.fc25.x86_64 mariadb-common-10.1.24-3.fc25.x86_64 mariadb-errmsg-10.1.24-3.fc25.x86_64 mariadb-server-utils-10.1.24-3.fc25.x86_64 mariadb-config-10.1.24-3.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible: always Actual results: Failed to setup mysql root password with mysqladmin. Expected results: mysqladmin password works by default. Please use working way. Additional info: REmoving this option can help: cat /etc/my.cnf.d/cracklib_password_check.cnf [mariadb] plugin-load-add=cracklib_password_check.so Adding this option can help: [server] strict_password_validation=0 The actual server response on the wire was: #HY000The MariaDB server is running with the --strict-password-validation option so it cannot execute this statement The mysqladmin's error message is misleading.
Thanks for the report. I disabled the CrackLib plugin by default.
