By default MySQL installations on Linux have root user that has full access permissions. In DirectAdmin, there is another Database user da_admin as database user with full access permissions as root. Password for it is stored inside /usr/local/directadmin/conf/mysql.conf.
MySQL can be accessed directly on a DirectAdmin server as follows:
#mysql -user=da_admin -password=`cat /usr/local/directadmin/conf/mysql.conf | grep passwd |cut -d= -f2`
To access mysqladmin on DirectAdmin system, use the following command:
#mysqladmin –user=da_admin –password=`cat /usr/local/directadmin/conf/mysql.conf | grep passwd |cut -d= -f2` processlist
