What is the default user and password created during the installation of MySQL?

During the installation of MySQL, a default user named 'root' is created with an empty password. It is recommended to set a password for the 'root' user to secure the MySQL server. To set a password for the 'root' user, you can use the MySQL command line tool or a MySQL client application. 

// Set a password for the 'root' user in MySQL
// Open a terminal and run the following command:
// mysql -u root

// Once you are in the MySQL command line interface, run the following command to set a password for the 'root' user:
// ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';
