The Enterprise Console creates the user account that the Controller uses to log into the database to perform database-related operations. The username of the account is "root", and the password is the one you supply to the Enterprise Console during the Controller installation process.

When attempting to access the data, the Controller reads the database user password from these sources and in the priority shown:

• From the MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWD environment variable
• From user input to a command line prompt

If you do not keep the password in the environment variable, you will need to supply it in response to a command-line prompt whenever performing an operation that involves accessing the database, starting the database, stopping the database, or logging into the database.
