/*
 * Autodetect if SSL/TLS is used by having a look at the first incoming bytes
 * This technique is from http://webview.jabberd.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/jadc2s/clients.cc?view=markup
 *
 * used heuristic:
 * - an incoming connection using SSLv3/TLSv1 records should start with 0x16
 * - an incoming connection using SSLv2 records should start with the record size
 *   and as the first record should not be very big we can expect 0x80 or 0x00 (the MSB is a flag)
 * - everything else is considered to be unencrypted

Sorry dont have a name to give credit too but sourced from: https://askubuntu.com/questions/766334/cant-login-as-mysql-user-root-from-normal-user-account-in-ubuntu-16-04/801950

I recently upgrade my Ubuntu 15.04 to 16.04 and this has worked for me:

    First, connect in sudo mysql

    sudo mysql -u root

    Check your accounts present in your db
