How do you change root's password to the right one? Obviously, it's not YES.

Howdy,

That doesn't mean the password is "YES", it just means that a password is being passed in.

You can update the password Virtualmin is using by going into Webmin -> Servers -> MySQL -> Module Config, and in the field "Administration password", you can set the password that Virtualmin is using.
