+ Safe start:
  + **`tiup cluster start tidb-test --init`**

+ Standard start:
  + **`tiup cluster start tidb-test`**

-------------------------------------------------------------
Since `TiUP` cluster `v1.9.0`, safe start is introduced as a new start method. Starting a cluster using this method improves the security of the database. It is recommended that you use this method.

After safe start, `TiUP` automatically generates a password for the `TiDB` root user and returns the password in the command-line interface.

After safe start of a `TiDB` cluster, you cannot log in to `TiDB` using a root user without a password. Therefore, you need to record the password returned in the command output for future logins.

The password is generated only once. If you do not record it or you forgot it, refer to `https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/user-account-management#forget-the-root-password` to change the password.
