In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user.  If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):
ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'
Enter current password for root (enter for none):

何度ENTERキーを押下しても、エラーが発生

対処法

sudoでログインしてパスワードを作成する

sudo mysql -u root -p

パスワードを設定します。

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY "ここにパスワードを設定";

これでログインできるようになりました。

mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
