I cannot open the local instance in MySQL Workbench in Ubuntu 20.04 after installing the MySQL server. I searched for some similar topics here but these did not help.
Solution Found:
I've found the solutions for this problem. This was because of the MySQL Workbench couldn't store password in keychain and also because it failed to connect to mysql at 127.0.0.1:3306 with user root access denied for user 'root'#'localhost'(using password:YES).
Use this command in the terminal: sudo snap connect mysql-workbench-community:password-manager-service :password-manager-service.
The snap package is sandboxed as usual and is not by default allowed to access the service. MySQLWorkbench is blocked by AppArmor when we choose "Store in keychain" option. That's why we need to enter the command to allow the package to access the service.

MySQL Workbench not saving passwords in keychain
Failed to connect to mysql at 127.0.0.1:3306 with user root access denied for user 'root'#'localhost'(using password:YES)
All I need to do here is mainly type the following command in the terminal:
sudo snap connect mysql-workbench-community:password-manager-service :password-manager-service
Here, the snap package is sandboxed as usual and is not by default allowed to access the service. MySQLWorkbench is blocked by AppArmor when we choose "Store in keychain" option. That's why we need to enter the command to allow the package to access the service.
Try adding this step.
login to mysql in the terminal
execute this command
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
Check if this solved your problem <NOTE THE 'password' PART, CHANGE IT TO THE PASSWORD YOU WANT TO USE>
I tried all of the above steps, this one was the one that solved for me.
Make sure all the mentioned things working.
First check mysql is running by running below command:
sudo systemctl status mysql
If it's running make sure that your mysql username is root and password you are entering is correct. If still not working make sure you have given all the privileges to user "root".
If don't know how to set privileges read this article carefully.

I'm setting up a MySQL database following this tutorial. I installed it and successfully initialized an instance with a root password, but I am having trouble connecting to the instance via command line. When I click on the 'mysql' executable under bin, I get this message
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'hunter'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
and if I try to enter
> mysql -u root -p
in the terminal I get this message
-bash: mysql: Permission denied
It says in the instructions that I should be getting prompted to enter the password for the database, but for some reason it won't let me.
I would suggest first off to try a mysql workbench. You can download it at https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/ .
It seems that calling mysql from bash is causing issues for you. If you are using a *Nix environment, it could be a permissions issue and you need to set the correct permissions on the mysql binary. However, usually a correct installation should have already done that. See: https://askubuntu.com/questions/229589/how-to-make-a-file-e-g-a-sh-script-executable-so-it-can-be-run-from-a-termi
Secondly, you should use the username root . hunter is not default username.
From the mysql documentation:
How to Reset the Root Password
If you have never assigned a root password for MySQL, the server does not require a password at all for connecting as root. However, this is insecure. For instructions on assigning a password, see Section 2.10.4, “Securing the Initial MySQL Account”.
Reference:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
I'm a beginner with linux (linux mint distro) and I have been trying to install mysql server and workbench. I couldn't connect to mysql server without sudo command. I tried to connect to the server on workbench, and Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost'. So I try to run workbench with sudo from terminal. Nothing. So I followed what somebody posted here on stackoverflow about changing my password auth mode to mysql_native_password, and was able to access SQL Server from workbench (only using sudo command).
So I try to import a dump which I made on windows mysql-workbench, and it gives me two errors:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
and
ERROR 1115 (42000) at line 24: Unknown character set: 'utf8_general_ci'
Nevertheless, the database seems to have been correctly imported (I can see values and columns and tables and they look alright).
What's happening and how to stop getting these access denied errors? I tried to search the web and there are different answers, but none of them seem to address first install. I don't see why wouldn't it work if I have made a pretty default install :(
Thanks a lot!
ps: I don't know if more specific info is needed. anonymous user was dropped after installation
Try resetting root password.
Step 1. Access to mysql using mysql -uroot
Step 2. Check the root user
select Host, User, authentication_string from mysql.user;
Step 3. Change password for root user
use mysql;
update user set authentication_string=password('NEWPASSWORD') where user='root';
flush privileges;
quit;
Now try accessing to mysql using mysql -uroot -p using new password. If it works, use the credentials in workbench.
I have recently installed MySQL 5.7.16 on an iMac running El Capitan. I had a few minor hiccups initially because I forgot the root password but that has now been reset and I can now log into MySQL as root user using:
$ mysql -u root -p
However, when I try to connect to MySQL server as root using SequelPro, I get the message:
Unable to connect via the socket, or the request timed out.
Double-check that the socket path is correct and that you have the necessary privileges, and that the server is running.
MySQL said: Your password has expired. To log in you must change it using a client that supports expired passwords.
When I look in /tmp folder, I was expecting to find mysql.sock but, instead, there is a file called mysql.sock.lock. Could this be causing the problem? I can't find where that .lock file has come from and I'm not sure what to do about it. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm not entirely sure what happened to cause the root password to expire but something had thrown a spanner in the works. Anyway, the solution for me was to log into MySQL from the Terminal using:
$ mysql -u root -p
...and then alter the root user's password using:
> ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'NewPass';
That seemed to do the trick. I was then able to log in to MySQL using Sequel Pro with no problems.
Instead of using a socket connection, you could try connecting via Sequel Pro's standard connection using 127.0.0.1 as the host.
Thus spake the 5.7 docs:
The installation process creates only a single root account, 'root'#'localhost', automatically generates a random password for this account, and marks the password expired. The MySQL administrator must connect as root using the random password and assign a new password. (The server writes the random password to the error log.)
So, connect from terminal and change the root password.
Either your first password may not have been saved OR it just truly never persisted.
For me it was the sudo /usr/local/bin/mysql_secure_installation that may not have ever persisted the password correctly. Since your first password never changed, there is no password or ,like your error said, "expired" to nothing.
Run or rerun the code above, don't type anything for the password field and follow the steps, from the preloaded setup program.
I've never had a MySQL install go smoothly. Not Mac. Not Windows. And now Linux joins the mess.
I installed mysql-server via Software Manager after a failed attempt with linuxbrew. I can actually run it in terminal, but I have to use sudo which seems odd. I don't see any examples where the user has to use sudo.
On top of that, when I run MySQL Workbench I can't connect. I get the error, Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost'
Any suggestions?
Did you install mysql from apt-get install mysql-server ? it probably asked you for a default root password (Ubuntu like systems usually do). If you have forgotten it, have no fear, the password can be reset
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-unix
Try doing this as linux root (sudo -i), if that doesn't work try
sudo -i
sudo mysql
and give it a shot.
Alternatively, sudo, connect to mysql and create another user account with full privileges something like
GRANT ALL ON *.* to someother user identified by ...
You cannot connect remotely with root database user since the default user created doesn't have access on '%' (remote access).
Create another user with limited rights (secure) and use it for workbench.
creating user on mysql:
create user test#'%' identified by 'test_user_password';
grant all on *.* to test; -- you can specify specific permissions/databases
flush privileges;
Try these credentials with workbench.
As far as the linux command line is concerned
mysql -uroot -p
-- hit enter, no password and see if you can get connected
I'm trying to connect to MySQL, using Sequel Pro, something I have done many times before. Host 127.0.0.1, username root, no password. I get the following message:
Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 because access was denied.
Double-check your username and password and ensure that access from your current location is permitted.
MySQL said: Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
For what it's worth, I got this message after upgrading to a new Mac OS (Mavericks), realized that the server wasn't running, downloaded a new server (which is currently running), and tried again - but I had the same problem.
Make sure you are running MySql in background System Preferences -> Mysql -> Start MySql
Make sure you are able to connect to MySql through command line, if command line works, there is no reason why it should not work in SequelPro.
If problem still persists, try changing the 'root' password.
It happened to my in Mac. I went to system preferences -> MySQL -> Stopped the server, started it again, and it worked.
