I have started this SQL Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXV3zeQKqGY&t=3466s and I installed MySQL and when I try to launch MySQL 8.0 Command Line Client it starts and stops immediately. I want to specify that during the instalation it never asked me to set a root password for the database like it asks the person in the video.
For whoever has this problem, just open your mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.22.0.msi without uninstalling and press reconfigure next to MySQL Server. Now it gave me the option to set a root password and the client starts normally

MySQL 8.0 Command Line Client crashes right after entering the correct password. I have also checked in services and there is no problem there. I'm using windows
This might be because MYSQL service is stopped.
Open search bar in windows and type services
Open the services application and find MYSQL application.
Click on start
Now open sql command line and try entering password
It is because MySQL Server stop, may be you run another application that use the same port. Try to run MySQL Installer Community, and you will find the program that you have to reconfigure (blue text). Try to configure MySQL Server ant click Test Connection.
It's hard to tell with no debug output or error codes, but disabling ssl might do the trick:
mysql --ssl-mode=DISABLED --host=$MYSQL_HOST --user=$MYSQL_USER ....
I had the same issue, was looking through Google to find an answer and came here. Are you sure, that you provided MySQL password? The root cause of my problem was the fact, that I put the MySQL user instead of MySQL password (the root one). Now everything is working fine.
That could mean that the password is failing. Check CapsLock key.
Go to Control Panel and uninstall MySQL Server only, you don't need to unstall the other MySQL files.
As mentioned here, make sure you can see hidden folders and then delete the following folders:
C:\Program Files\MySQL
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL
C:\ProgramData\MySQL
C:\Users<your-username>\AppData\Roaming\MySQL
Reinstall MySQL Server Package only
Select another password (looks like the current password is the problem)
Come here and vote me up :)
Do something nice for someone else ;)
I'm having an awkward issue here. I've recently installed MySql on windows 7. Based on things I have googled, when you first install MySQL it shouldn't ask for a password. For some reason it did on my system.
I used the method described in the link below to reset my root password:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html
It works. However apparently the password is lost every time I restart windows. Therefore I have to reset the root password every time I restart windows.
Any Ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Additional notes:
When I type
--init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt
in the command window, I get the message "starting process 1960...." however it apparently freezes there and I won't be able enter further input into the command window. However when I open the MySQL workbench everything works fine.
On the other hand when I use this:
mysqld
--defaults-file="C:\\ProgramData\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.7\\my.ini"
--init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt
The command window doesn't freeze, but when I open the MySQL workbench I can't connect.
Additional notes2:
After following the steps in the link if I try to start the service from the "Services" window I get an error:
Windows could not start the MySQL 5.6 service on local computer. Error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly.
Again everything works fine if I manually open the MySQL workbench, however I do get this error when trying to start the service.
I apologise.. I know this question has been asked many times before, but I've tried lots of suggestions, and simply can't find a solution.
The problem: I have a MySQL database running on a hosted server.
I have to use SSH to connect to it, and I have the relevant Public and Private Key files.
I specifically want to use the PC version of MySQL Workbench, to access this database, for running queries, checking data, etc.
If I run Sequel Pro on a Mac, it connects fine, and I can browse and query the database. No problems.
If I run the trial version of SQLyog on a PC, it also connects fine. No problems.
But if I try to connect use MySQL's own "MySQL Workbench" application, using exactly the same settings and SSH Private Key file, it refuses to connect, throwing the well-known error:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 127.0.0.1' (10061)
I find it frustrating, as, in SQL Workbench, I specified the "MySQL Hostname" to use, db01.mysql.vm.MyHostingServer.net, but Workbench seems to ignore it, and demand to connect to 127.0.0.1 instead.
(I have read that Workbench says it needs the Public key file, but actually means the Private key file... and I have tried with both. I've also tried with MySQL Workbench on a Mac, but that crashed all over the place, simply when I was typing in server names and passwords.. it was a mess !!)
The hosting service I've gone with gives me limited permissions for changing MySQL settings, and given that Sequel Pro and SQLyog can connect successfully, I don't want to start messing about and changing things randomly.
Any ideas...?
Maybe you are not allowed to start the service "MySQL 55". Set the login information of Service "MySQL 55" as local!
To see the list of aviable services in Windows 7:
Open a run box
Type services.msc and press return.
Find the service MySQL55
A right click of the MySQL55 Local Service shows Properties -> Log On
Even I had same problem, The reason was mysql service was not getting configured properly, when I installed it through 'MySQL installer'. Also it was not starting, when I tried to start the service manually.
So in my case it seemed be a Bug with the 'MySQL Installer', as editing the install path to a different one when the 'Developer default' was selected, the problem occurs.
Solution (Not exactly a solution):
Uninstalled the MySQL all products (completely)
Reinstalled, this time also I have selected 'Developer default', but didn't make any changes to the path or any thing. So the path was just 'C:\Program Files\MySQL' (the default one)
And just clicked Next Next...
Done, this time MySql was running fine.
After making above improvement such as checking if mysql service is running or not, you just need to give a small password while creating connection, it is ' ' or 1 time press on space-bar in case of GUI or workbench. After which you just need to validate your machine with server (validated HOST). For that purpose click on 'New Server Instance' and it will configure server/HOST on your behalf itself.
I have done this successfully just a few couple of minutes ago. My workbench software is able to show all pre-installed databases etc now.
hope it will work for you as well.
Thanks!!!
I was having same issue, way i have resolved is:
opened the MySQL installer. i was having a Reconfigure link on MYSQL Server row.
Clicked on it, it does reinstalled MySQL Server.
after that opened MySQL Workbench, and it was working fine.
Try placing the host name (db01.mysql.vm.MyHostingServer.net) in your windows host (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host) file along with it's IP address and port number and see if that helps.
If you have installed WAMP on your machine, please make sure that it is running. Do not EXIT the WAMP from tray menu since it will stop the MySQL Server.
To connect to a new server, you click on home + add new connection. Put IP or webserver URL in new connection.
Just try to run the following command manually:
C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\bin\mysqld.exe --console
It worked for me :)
Ran into the exact same problem as OP and found that leaving the "MySQL Server Port" empty in the MySQL Workbench connection solves the issue.
I have tried all the method.
I will suggest you to reinstall it.
I just installed the latest version of MySQL. Until Now I had it on Windows XP but I wanted to install this on another computer with Windows 7.
Even after configuring everything correctly, the MySQL client won't show up in the Start Folder. So I went to the bin folder of MySQL and tried opening mysql.exe but it would immediately close down.
I then tried opening mysql.exe in cmd & this is what I get
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin>mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'ODBC'#'localhost' (using password: N
O)
Any Ideas how I can get this to work?
Provide username (root)
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin>mysql -uroot
Default passsword is blank, but if you set it, you will need to provde password as well
I don't recall where I first read it, but when facing this problem before, I found that I had to manually turn on a service:
Windows key+R and type Run and hit "enter"
Type "services.msc", hit "OK"
Find "MySQL56", right-click and choose "Start"
You should now be able to log in with no trouble
That's the solution that worked for me; hopefully it helps others out there.
What #Herschel said is right if you follow his steps 1-4 then try to log in with your password in command line you'll have no trouble.
You can also make this run automatically as a service, something which you need when running it on a server.
Open Run
Type "services.msc" click ok
Find the MySQL service
Right-click properties then go down to startup type:
Change it to automatic
I followed these steps and it worked for me:
1. Open Command prompt in admin and go to the location of Mysql bin folder and type -
C:\ProgramFile\mysql\bin>mysql -u root -p <password>
2. Then the prompt asks for the password. This is the password or the root user which
you had set during installation of mysql.
3. Type the password and you will login in to mysql.
4. Also make sure your mysql service is running in the backend by going to the
windows service panel and check whether the mysql service is running.
Heyoo Heyoo. So as of today 19th March 2022 I had this same issue but imma show you how I solved it. My specs before we start:
MySql Version: 8.0
OS: Windows 10
OS Build: 19044.1586
Alright, I'm fairly new to SQL, was following along with a tutorial but when it got to the point of opening the client command line it wouldn't open, it just popped up and closed back; didn't even ask for a password. After watching several tutorials (which were very unhelpful) I noticed from those tutorials that the solution they proffered was to "Active the MYSQL80 service", but that was unhelpful to me because I couldn't see that service in the services menu.
So I decided to go back to the "MySql Installer -Community" App (I installed the community version of SQL)
After the installer had opened up I clicked on the "Reconfigure" action for MySQL Server
It opened the configuration window for the SQL Server and I followed the configuration process to set up the server (turns out I didn't initially set it up when I installed MySQL 😅😅). After the configuration process was done I went back to the services menu to see if the "MYSQL80" service was there... and it was, I checked to see if it was running; following the instructions from this tutorial. After making sure the service was running I went back to the client command line, it finally opened up, allowed me to input my password, and it's working properly!!
EDIT: I had MySQL installed twice on my machine (XAMPP & on its own)
When I enter my password into MySQL Command Line Client, it rejects my password, gives 1 beep and closes the window. Can anyone provide me with a basic troubleshooting list of steps (from simple to progressively more technical) to regain entry into MySQL once and for all. Also, can anyone tell me what can cause my password to suddenly be rejected? I am also running XAMPP and the MySQL service is both installed and running. Thanks in advance.
I remember when I first got this problem some months ago, if I recall correctly, I solved it by starting the MySQL service from Windows XP's Administrative Tool (something I did stopped the MySQL service and to this day I don't know what it was).
Now the problem has started back again but this time, when I checked Services, the MySQL service was already 'started'.
Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks
I think I figured out why my password was not working. I had two versions of MySQL installed on my machine (XAMPP and MySQL 5.1). So I deleted the MySQL 5.1 and it worked.
For me (and my similar problem),
--password = mypass
didn't work, but
--password="mypass"
did.
Is there an error message when it rejects your password? I wonder if perhaps you are using an outdated client and running into this issue: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/old-client.html
If you set mySQL to not begin running on startup, then you need to start it prior to attempting to login. This can be done via the command line, via the task manager if you configured it as a windows service, etc.
For example, here is an explanation of starting the service using cmd
Starting MySQL from the Windows Command Line | MySQL
Do you have the password for the root account? If so, try this from the command line?
mysql --user=root --password=your password here
or
mysql --user=root --password=your password here --database=MySQL
A bit too late but - If you have numeric characters in your password and are using the numpad on your keyboard, ensure that the numlock is ON. For some weird reason if you have numlock off MySQL will still interpret a keystroke. This wasn't very obvious to me since my laptop doesn't have a num lock indicator light, thats HP for yah :)
How to Reset the Root Password | MySQL
This is the services solution that was mentioned. Use this if you can't remember your root password.
I'd like to add another successful solution to this problem. I reran the installer (the msi), chose the repair option and everything was fixed.
My password suddenly worked again, so I took the following steps to change it:
Using Windows Command Prompt, navigate to MySQL's bin directory
Type: mysqladmin -uroot -p password yourNewPassword
Press Enter. You will be prompted for your password, enter it
If no error messages/beeps happen, your password was successfully changed
Log in using MySQL Command Prompt with your new password
What I don't understand is that WHY all of a sudden my password started back to work after approximately 24 hours? I wish I know so I can avoid this in the future.
