When you get MySQL command prompt mysql> then type

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('password') WHERE User='root';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

exit from mysql

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

If you install MySQL 5.7,

with Java, HTML5, PHP, C/C++ and more. NetBeans IDE is FREE, open source, and has a
worldwide community of users and developers. The home page is: www.netbeans.org

1. Click to download NetBeans 8.x. Select the Java EE bundle, as this comes with the Java
EE and GlassFish utilities which will save time.
2. When the installation begins, make sure GlassFish is selected and Apache Tomcat is not.
Accept all the terms and be sure to install JUnit.
3. Make sure that the installer can locate the JDK on your system. If no JDK can be found,
4
 visit the Java home page to install it. Having a JDK is necessary for the installation to
complete. JDK 8 is preferred.

On Ubuntu
Steps to Install GlassFish Server & NetBeans 8.x on Ubuntu Linux 12.x/14.x/16.x

1. Ubuntu Linux will need to install Oracle JDK 8 not OpenJDK8. Oracle JDK 8 can be set
up on Ubuntu with the following 3 commands(on your desktop or laptop):

a. Make sure GlassFish server is selected and that a JRE is automatically detected. Click
next. Select the agreement terms for both products and for JUnit.
b. Choose the location to install both the GF server and the IDE, and then install them
both.
7. GlassFish server should automatically configure itself, register itself in the IDE, and
provide you with a default domain.
