Me, trying to access an old mysql database on a Linux server, the root user gets rejected. Out of frustration I delete mysql entirely and try to start again.

I was not using sudo to access the root user...

In the bright side, the deleted mysql version was actually an old one, the database is actually fine.

    Old mysql wouldn't use system accounts to authenticate you anyway. Even in new one user accounts in DB are independent of system ones by default. Possibility to use system accounts was introduced quite recently via plugin that has to be explicitly configured.
