I've tried to reinstall Wordpress on the platform but it asks for password for root@localhost but I don't remember what I set it to when I installed MySQL.
If I run
it also asks for password for root@localhost and I've forgotten it.
Am I correct in assuming that MySQL database user password are stored inside the database (like Oracle)?
On install of Solaris 11, it set me up a personal userid/password and the root role password was the same password. Since installation I've modified the root role to a normal user and then changed the root user password. Would any of that have screwed up or changed the MySQL authentication? If database user passwords are stored inside the database then I assume not?

mysql_convert_table_format
MYSQL_CONVERT_TAB(1) MySQL Database System MYSQL_CONVERT_TAB(1)NAME
mysql_convert_table_format - convert tables to use a given storage engine
SYNOPSIS
mysql_convert_table_format [options] db_name
DESCRIPTION
mysql_convert_table_format converts the tables in a database to use a particular storage engine (MyISAM by default).
mysql_convert_table_format is written in Perl and requires that the DBI and DBD::mysql Perl modules be installed (see Section 2.13, "Perl
Installation Notes").
Invoke mysql_convert_table_format like this:
shell> mysql_convert_table_format [options]db_name
The db_name argument indicates the database containing the tables to be converted.
mysql_convert_table_format supports the options described in the following list.
o --help
Display a help message and exit.
o --force
Continue even if errors occur.
o --host=host_name
Connect to the MySQL server on the given host.
o --password=password
The password to use when connecting to the server. Note that the password value is not optional for this option, unlike for other MySQL
programs.
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See Section 6.1.2.1, "End-User Guidelines for Password
Security". You can use an option file to avoid giving the password on the command line.
o --port=port_num
The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.
o --socket=path
For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use.
o --type=engine_name
Specify the storage engine that the tables should be converted to use. The default is MyISAM if this option is not given.
o --user=user_name
The MySQL user name to use when connecting to the server.
o --verbose
Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.
o --version
Display version information and exit.
