Description:
Today I had to install 4 times MySQL 8, because I wanted to set as root password this "SOx-ls#-ysnbP0Sy'sfsQ;]%r5#AXrqsExXf3!UF3QI}NiwgBF" and the server did set the password but later did not allowed me to connect. Could you explain what is wrong with that password, I ended up setting as password "abcd", now it works.

How to repeat:
Try to set password to "SOx-ls#-ysnbP0Sy'sfsQ;]%r5#AXrqsExXf3!UF3QI}NiwgBF"

Hi,

Can you try a newer version, I just tested 9.4.0 and it works without a problem.
