iRedMail - Entered wrong mysql root password during install - how do I fix it?

Question

I just tried to install iRedMail on Ubuntu 16.04 following this tutorial: https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/ubuntu-16-04-iredmail-server-installation

However, I entered the wrong root password during installation and could see a lot mysql errors saying the password was incorrect.

Is there any way I can redo this process? I also noticed that mail.domain.com/iredmail/ returned a 404 not found, but mail.domain.com/mail showed Roundcube but with this text

"DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED!

Unable to connect to the database! Please contact your server-administrator."

I would try to re run the install script again and enter the correct password. — kukulo, Sep 16 '17 at 16:43
I tried that, but it didn't try to recreate the databases, it skipped all the operations after I was done with the blue pop up window. — Anders, Sep 16 '17 at 16:52

Re-run the install script again with the proper password.

Edit: The install script needs to be run with

sudo ./iRedMail.sh

I did that, but it didn't recreate the needed databases. It skipped pretty much all. – Anders Sep 16 '17 at 16:51
