As linux root user:
root#local:~# mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using
password: NO)
I'm confused. Shouldn't the root user be able to run mysql without additional authentication? How do I fix this?
Your root account in MySql has a password. Try this
mysql -p
and enter the password you, or somebody set.
If that doesn't work try
mysql -h localhost -u root -p
It that doesn't work you'll need to reset your MySql root password. That's the topic of several tutorials on the 'toobz
If the MySQL root user has a password, using the default authentication plugin, then you must provide a password to connect, full stop. You can configure an account with no password, but that's a habit you should avoid.
You can provide a password by any of the following means:
Entering it interactively with the -p option
Entering it in plaintext in the commandline like -p<mypassword>
Storing it in plaintext in your ~/.my.cnf file in the [client] section (see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/option-files.html)
Storing it in an obfuscated form in your ~/.mylogin.cnf file (see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-config-editor.html).
There's also a way to provide a password through environment variables, but that's discouraged now because it's really not secure.
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH auth_socket;

So I'm setting up mysql for the first time.
I read somewhere that I have to run this
mysql -u root -p
To log in as root, in order to be able to create tables/databases using the mysql command line.
When I run this, I get prompted for a password - I hit enter (I thought the default password was blank).
I get this error
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
What's going on?
If you have a fresh installation of MySql you should be able to issue the following command and it should allow your connection.
xyz#ubuntu$ mysql -u root mysql
You then should set the root password and then create a user with the correct level of access.
look HERE for help connecting.
When I try to connect to the sql server and enter the following in command prompt:
shell> mysql --user=username--password=password db_name
I get error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: Y
ES)
What does this error mean?
Looks like a space is missing between username and --password
If you don't know the root password, with Debian or Ubuntu, there is an easy way to reset it :
First, get the exact version of your server using
sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep 'mysql-server-'
Then, just use sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.x
(btw, replace 5.x with you real version number)
On a fresh install, the default root password is blank, so should be able to log in using just
mysql -u root
You should obviously add a root password after installation
mysqladmin -u root password [newpassword]
In most cases, you should also set up dedicated accounts with limited rights before working with a DB.
On Windows -
Search for services
Stop the service named MySQL[#] (in my case it was MySQL80).
Start the service again.
Open Command Prompt and type:
mysql [database name] -u [user name] -p
It worked for me when no other solutions worked. Hope this solves your issue as well.
It means your password is wrong or the account "root" has no access to the database on host "localhost".
Look at the right side bar. There are multiple questions equivalent to yours.
Please forgive me for being a complete beginner:
I am trying to log into my very first mySQL database that I installed using easyPHP on my windows machine, using the cmd line. I am going to the \mysql\bin and entering the command:
mysql -u root
in order to log in, but I am getting the following message:
error 1045 (28000) access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
Why is it using the password "YES"? Shouldn't there be no password at all? Do I need to restart mySQL or something? If so, how do I do that? If it's relevant, I did try to create the database using phpmyadmin, but had a few problems entering columns and decided I'd be better off working from the command line so I could learn all the commands as I went along.
Please keep in mind that this is my first time ever trying to work with a database, so be kind to me!
To have mysql asking you for a password, you also need to specify the -p-option:
mysql -u root -p
When logging into MYSQL using the command line, you also have to specify the password if any. Your error message is telling you that the user "root" has a password attached to it. Not necessarily that the password is "YES" when you were installing easyPHP, it should have either provided you with a default password or allowed you to enter a password of your choosing.
According to the documentation of easyPHP:
[v1.6] My scripts worked perfectly with 1.5 but now I get this error : Warning: Forbidden access for user: 'user#localhost' (password: YES) when I want to connect to MySql.
Only the root user (without password) has the rights to connect to the database. Either modify your scripts to use it, or add the user you need (phpMyAdmin/users and privileges: See phpMyAdmin's documentation for more information).
mysql -u root -p
Now if you changed your root user password, you will need to specify that when prompted. Otherwise simply hit <Enter> on your keyboard.
If you FORGOT the password to root, and have changed it, you will have to subsequently reinstall easyPHP.

I installed MySql5.5 and set password during installation but when I try to use mysql from windows command prompt, I have get the error:
access denied for user 'odbc'#'localhost' to database password = 'YES'
I would like to change it back into "root#localhost" as well as to reset the password but I can't log in mysql.
How do I login to mysql with root?
You're trying to use the mysql interactive shell? You can specify usernames at the command line:
c:\> mysql -u root -p
where
-u = specify username
-p = prompt for password
I fixed this by implementing a little hacky solution. Downloaded hxd (hex editor) and searched for 'ODBC' (there should only be one match) and just changed it to 'root'.
You are logging into mysql with a default no-rights user, you have to login as root if you want to do everything:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin>mysql.exe -u root -p
Enter Password: *****
If you never specified a root password it should be blank, if you did, you have to remember what it was, or find out how to reset the root password.
I recently installed mysql server and client, but I can't connect to the server. I get this message:
Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES/NO)
Whatever I do i will always get the same message.
I tried commenting bind-address but still the same thing.
If you set up a password for the root user during installation, then start the mysql client with the -p option, mysql -u root -p, and it should prompt you for a password.
If there's no password set, leave the -p off and it should log right in.
If you've somehow forgotten what the root password is, you can fix it by following these instructions... http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
