Overview

For (dv) Dedicated-Virtual Servers, Plesk renames the root account for MySQL to admin. Whenever referring to any documentation regarding MySQL's root user, just consider this user admin on your server.

Root privileges

To access root privileges to MySQL, simply login with the admin username instead. The password is the same as the admin password in Plesk. If you need to change your admin password, you can do this in your AccountCenter. See this article for instructions: How can I change my Plesk admin password?
