4a) Set MySQL root password

By default there is no password for MySQL instant and you need to run the below command to set the root password for security reason. I advise you to secure MySQL installation using mysql_secure_installation method which will set root password and adjust other settings to make more secure.

$ sudo mysql_secure_installation
