Hi,

What is the default MySQL root password? we are trying to give external systems access to the CDR database.

there isnt one.. when you start mysql for the first time it usually tells you how to set the password with the mysqladmin command

mysql -u root password 'newpassword'

In my case that didn't work.

mysql -u root -p
Using password: passw0rd (with a Zero worked for me)

Hope this helps anyone that had the same problem as I did.
