The default password for the MySQL root user is is defined by the NSTCTMYSQLPASSWD variable found in the file: "/etc/nst.conf".

This is one of the few "clear text" passwords which we have been unable to eliminate from the NST distribution (we don't like having passwords in clear text). If you intend on permitting external connections to your NST database (they are disabled by default), you should edit your /etc/nst.conf file and change the value of NSTCTMYSQLPASSWORD PRIOR to starting up the MySQL server via the setup_mysql script.
