Trying to make a LAMP on AWS.

Typed in sudo apt-get install mysql-server and "it" did it's thing ending at a prompt.

I then typed in sudo service mysql start... again it did it's thing.

I'm assuming that MySQL started (no errors were thrown) and thus was installed. During the install I was never prompted to create a password.

Is there a default password?

Typing in mysqladmin -u root -p status prompts for a password.
