Hello,  
I just installed Percona Server 5.6 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ( standard binary distribution)… I am trying to connect to the server from different host  
I am going to grant privileges to ‘root’ accessing db from remote host:  
echo "GRANT ALL ON _._ TO root@‘%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’ WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;  
But where can i find default password for ‘root’?  
Thanks

No password for “root”? I run "GRANT ALL ON _._ TO root@'% WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;  
and it worked
