# MySQL Workbench and Server
For the database interaction, we will make use of MySQL Workbench and Server at first. MySQL Workbench is the administration tool for MySQL databases that was used in the Data Essentials course in the first semester.
In case you don't have MySQL Workbench and Server on your laptop yet/anymore, you can find the installation manual here.
Did you forget your MySQL password? In case you followed the manual in semester 1, the password will be 1234
