-> WHERE User='root';
m... w database will possibly change both the root password and the debian-sys-maint password, of course it won't automatically change the expected debian-sys-m... n't forget to flush privileges:
<code>
> SET PASSWORD FOR 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('password_from_/etc/mysql/debian.cnf');
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> QUIT
</code>
Test to be sure it works:
<code>sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart</code>
