I have a docker container with mariadb on a synology nas.
The mariadb version is 10.4.12.
By trying to access the mariadb from a linux client by latest dBeaver I got following behavior.
Access with root user from client is successfull.
Access with root user out of inside the docker is successfull.
so far so fine!
Then I created following user, by following command:
CREATE USER 'myUser'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'secretPassword';
GRANT select, update, insert, delete ON mydb.* TO 'myUser'#'%';
After this I flushed privileges
With this user I am not able to login from inside the docker container and also not possible from the client.
Dependig from where I tried, I got 'Access denied for user 'myUser'#'172.17.0.1'.
The mariadb charset is UTF8.
The plugin in mysql.user is set to: mysql_native_password
In /etc/mysql/my.cnf the bind is enabled and set to 0.0.0.0
I tried to create the same user with above listet command with localhost and clientIP also without success.
I restartet the docker container without success.
I grant ALL to this user and flushed privileges again, without success.
I deleted all myUser's and created the myUser#% new with additional usage rights, also without success.
Are there any idea what I can do/ how to fix this behavior?
Any help will be apreciated!
Thank you in advance
I found the solution!!
I used for the user an automatic generated password:
G(m&>JBR,9ä
This did not work.
After I changed the password to a new one. Everything worked fine!
Are there any restrictions which charactes are possible in a password?
Simply remove the "%"
For more convenient, I also add couple of combinations.
CREATE USER 'myUser'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secretPassword';
GRANT select, update, insert, delete ON mydb.* TO 'myUser'#'localhost';
CREATE USER 'myUser'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'secretPassword';
GRANT select, update, insert, delete ON mydb.* TO 'myUser'#'%';
CREATE USER 'myUser'#'' IDENTIFIED BY 'secretPassword';
GRANT select, update, insert, delete ON mydb.* TO 'myUser'#'';
Tried
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'root' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Getting
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'IDENTIFIED BY 'root' WITH GRANT OPTION' at line 1.
Note: The same is working when tried in previous versions.
Also tried
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Getting
ERROR 1410 (42000): You are not allowed to create a user with GRANT
MySQL (8.0.11.0) username/password is root/root.
Starting with MySQL 8 you no longer can (implicitly) create a user using the GRANT command. Use CREATE USER instead, followed by the GRANT statement:
mysql> CREATE USER 'root'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Caution about the security risks about WITH GRANT OPTION, see:
Grant all privileges on database
I see a lot of (wrong) answers, it is just as simple as this:
USE mysql;
CREATE USER 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'P#ssW0rd';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'user'#'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Note: instead of a self-created user you can use root to connect to the database. However, using the default root account to let an application connect to the database is not the preferred way. Alternative privileges can be applied as follows (be careful and remember the least-privilege principle):
-- Grant user permissions to all tables in my_database from localhost --
GRANT ALL ON my_database.* TO 'user'#'localhost';
-- Grant user permissions to my_table in my_database from localhost --
GRANT ALL ON my_database.my_table TO 'user'#'localhost';
-- Grant user permissions to all tables and databases from all hosts --
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'user'#'*';
If you would somehow run into the following error:
ERROR 1130 (HY000): Host ‘1.2.3.4’ is not allowed to connect to this
MySQL server
You need add/change the following two lines in /etc/mysql/my.cnf and restart mysql:
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
skip-networking
You could run into the following error, which is a bit confusing:
ERROR 1410 (42000): You are not allowed to create a user with GRANT
This means that either the user does not exist at all OR that the user#host combination does not exist. You can easily check for this with the following command:
SELECT host, user FROM user
1) This worked for me. First, create a new user. Example: User foo with password bar
> mysql> CREATE USER 'foo'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'bar';
2) Replace the below code with a username with 'foo'.
> mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO'foo'#'localhost';
Note: database_name is the database that you want to have privileges, . means all on all
3) Login as user foo
mysql> mysql -u foo -p
Password: bar
4) Make sure your initial connection from Sequelize is set to foo with pw bar.
Just my 2 cents on the subject. I was having the exact same issue with trying to connect from MySQL Workbench. I'm running a bitnami-mysql virtual machine to set up a local sandbox for development.
Bitnami's tutorial said to run the 'Grant All Privileges' command:
/opt/bitnami/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p -e "grant all privileges on *.* to 'root'#'%' identified by 'PASSWORD' with grant option";
This was clearly not working, I finally got it to work using Mike Lischke's answer.
What I think happened was that the root#% user had the wrong credentials associated to it. So if you've tried to modify the user's privileges and with no luck try:
Dropping the user.
Create the user again.
Make sure you have the correct binding on your MySQL config file.
In my case I've commented the line out since it's just for a sandbox environment.
1. Dropping the user.
From Mysql Console:
List Users (helpful to see all your users):
select user, host from mysql.user;
Drop Desired User:
drop user '{{ username }}'#'%';
2. Create the user again.
Create User and Grant Permissions:
CREATE USER '{{ username }}'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY '{{ password }}';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '{{ username }}'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Run this command:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
3. Make sure you have the correct binding on your MySQL config file.
Locate your MySQL config file (additional notes at the end). If you want to have MySQL listen for connections on more than one network find the following line on the config file:
bind-address=127.0.0.1
and comment it using a '#':
#bind-address=127.0.0.1
For production environments you might want to use limit the network access (additional notes at the end).
Then restart your MySQL service.
Hope this helps someone having the same issue!
Binding: If you want to know more about this I suggest looking at the following
solution How to bind MySQL server to more than one IP address. It
basically says you can leave MySQL open and limit connections by using
a firewall, or natively if you have MySQL version 8.0.13 and above.
MySQL Config File The file could have different locations depending on your
Linux distribution and installation. On my system it was located at
'/etc/my.cnf'. Here are other suggested locations:
/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
You can also search for the config locations as shown in this website:
How to find locations of MySQL config files.
For those who've been confused by CREATE USER 'root'#'localhost' when you already have a root account on the server machine, keep in mind that your 'root'#'localhost' and 'root'#'your_remote_ip' are two different users (same user name, yet different scope) in mysql server. Hence, creating a new user with your_remote_ip postfix will actually create a new valid root user that you can use to access the mysql server from a remote machine.
For example, if you're using root to connect to your mysql server from a remote machine whose IP is 10.154.10.241 and you want to set a password for the remote root account which is 'Abcdef123!##', here are steps you would want to follow:
On your mysql server machine, do mysql -u root -p, then enter your password for root to login.
Once in mysql> session, do this to create root user for the remote scope:
mysql> CREATE USER 'root'#'10.154.10.241' IDENTIFIED BY 'Abcdef123!##';
After the Query OK message, do this to grant the newly created root user all privileges:
mysql> GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'#'10.154.10.241';
And then:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Restart the mysqld service:
sudo service mysqld restart
Confirm that the server has successfully restarted:
sudo service mysqld status
If the steps above were executed without any error, you can now access to the mysql server from a remote machine using root.
My Specs:
mysql --version
mysql Ver 8.0.16 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)
What worked for me:
mysql> CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'desired_password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON db_name.* TO 'username'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Response in both queries:
Query OK, O rows affected (0.10 sec*)
N.B: I created a database (db_name) earlier and was creating a user credential with all privileges granted to all tables in the DB in place of using the default root user which I read somewhere is a best practice.
The specified user just doesn't exist on your MySQL (so, MySQL is trying to create it with GRANT as it did before version 8, but fails with the limitations, introduced in this version).
MySQL's pretty dumb at this point, so if you have 'root'#'localhost' and trying to grant privileges to 'root'#'%' it treats them as different users, rather than generalized notion for root user on any host, including localhost.
The error message is also misleading.
So, if you're getting the error message, check your existing users with something like this
SELECT CONCAT("'", user, "'#'", host, "'") FROM mysql.user;
and then create missing user (as Mike advised) or adjust your GRANT command to the actual exisiting user specificaion.
You will get this error
ERROR 1410 (42000): You are not allowed to create a user with GRANT
If you are trying to run a GRANT on a user that doesn't exist!
Therefore, first run this to make sure the user you use in your GRANT matches exactly to what you have:
select User, Host from user;
In particular pay attention whether the user you created is at localhost but the one you are trying to grant to is %
Copy this and use it at once:
CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'username'#'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Instead of using single lines of code such as:
CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Then:
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'username'#'localhost';
Then:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Many thanks #Nebulastic
If you want to only allow remote IP using following command
CREATE USER 'user_test'#'113.yy.xx.94' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PWD';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'user_test'#'113.yy.xx.94';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
This worked for me:
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%'WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES
Check out your username and domain is the same as created before. Mysql select account by the two colums in user table.If it is different, mysql may think you want to create a new account by grant,which is not supported after 8.0 version.
My Specs:
mysql --version
mysql Ver 8.0.19 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)
What worked for me:
mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> UPDATE User SET Host='%' WHERE User='root' AND Host='localhost';
this commands work for me:
1-login to mysql and see all users
sudo mysql -u root
select user, host from mysql.user;
2-delete old user
drop user root#localhost;
3-create new user
CREATE USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword'
4-add all privileges to it:
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'#'localhost'
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password
BY 'mypassword';
5-finally flush privileges
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
in select statement, changing 'user'#'%' to 'user'#'localhost' solved my problem
In my case I wanted to do something similar, I followed some steps from here but the best way was as #nebulasic mentioned:
USE mysql;
CREATE USER 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'P#ssW0rd';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'user'#'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
After this I encountered an error while trying to query the database or connect with SQLTools from VSCode.
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
Running this query will fix the problem:
ALTER USER 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'Your_newP#s$w0Rd';
I also want to mention that these steps are ok to work in a local environment, when doing something in production is recommended to allocate each user to each database with generated password accordingly and different other security measures if necessary.
Well, I just had the same problem. Even if route had '%' could not connect remotely. Now, having a look at my.ini file (config file in windows) the bind-address statement was missed.
So... I putted this bind-address = * after [mysqld] and restarted the service. Now it works!
1. grant privileges
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'root'#'%'WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES
2. check user table:
mysql> use mysql
mysql> select host,user from user
3.Modify the configuration file
mysql default bind ip：127.0.0.1, if we want to remote visit services,just delete config
#Modify the configuration file
vi /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
#Comment out the ip-address option
[mysqld]
# Only allow connections from localhost
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
4.finally restart the services
brew services restart mysql
Try this, i had the same issue and i tried few options, but the below worked.
GRANT ALL ON . TO 'root'#'%';

Mysql Ver 8.0.31-0
My root had no GRANT privileges so I could not grant new users any previligies.
Solution was to Drop current root user and create new one using 'mysql_native_password'.
Commands as follows
Login to mysql with as root
mysql> DROP USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD' FROM mysql.user;
mysql> CREATE USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'locahost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
This may work:
grant all on dbtest.* to 'dbuser'#'%' identified by 'mysql_password';
I had this same issue, which led me here. In particular, for local development, I wanted to be able to do mysql -u root -p without sudo. I don't want to create a new user. I want to use root from a local PHP web app.
The error message is misleading, as there was nothing wrong with the default 'root'#'%' user privileges.
Instead, as several people mentioned in the other answers, the solution was simply to set bind-address=0.0.0.0 instead of bind-address=127.0.0.1 in my /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf config. No changes were otherwise required.
I had the same problem on CentOS and this worked for me (version: 8.0.11):
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%'
Stary mysql with sudo

I am facing problem with mysql non root/admin user, I am following the below steps for creating user and its privileges, correct me if i am doing wrong,
i am installing mysql on RHEL 5.7 64bit, packages are mentioned below, once i done the rpm install we are
creating mysql db using mysql_install_db, then
starting the mysql service then
using mysql_upgrade also we are doing to the server.
After this process i can login as root but with a non-root user I am not able to log into the server:
[root#clustertest3 ~]# rpm -qa | grep MySQL

[root#clustertest3 ~]# mysql -ugolden -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'golden'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
This is the problem I am facing, is there any solution to this?
Do not grant all privileges over all databases to a non-root user, it is not safe (and you already have "root" with that role)
GRANT <privileges> ON database.* TO 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
This statement creates a new user and grants selected privileges to it.
I.E.:
GRANT INSERT, SELECT, DELETE, UPDATE ON database.* TO 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Take a look at the docs to see all privileges detailed
EDIT: you can look for more info with this query (log in as "root"):
select Host, User from mysql.user;
To see what happened
If you are connecting to the MySQL using remote machine(Example workbench) etc., use following steps to eliminate this error on OS where MySQL is installed
mysql -u root -p
CREATE USER '<<username>>'#'%%' IDENTIFIED BY '<<password>>';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO '<<username>>'#'%%';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Try logging into the MYSQL instance.
This worked for me to eliminate this error.
Try:
CREATE USER 'golden'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'golden'#'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Or even better use: mysql_setpermission to create the user
It looks like you're trying to make a user 'golden'#'%' but a different user by the name of 'golden'#'localhost' is getting in the way/has precedence.
Do this command to see the users:
SELECT user,host FROM mysql.user;
You should see two entries:
1) user= golden, host=%
2) user= golden, host=localhost
Do these Command:
DROP User 'golden'#'localhost';
DROP User 'golden'#'%';
Restart MySQL Workbench.
Then do your original commands again:
CREATE USER 'golden'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'golden'#'%';
Then when you go to try to sign in to MySQL, type it in like this:
Hit 'Test Connection' and enter your password 'password'.
First I created the user using :
CREATE user user#localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password_txt';
After Googling and seeing this, I updated user's password using :
SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'#'localhost' = PASSWORD('password_txt');
and I could connect afterward.
For anyone else who did all the advice but the problem still persists.
Check for stored procedure and view DEFINERS. Those definers may no longer exists.
My problem showed up when we changed the wildcard host (%) to IP specific, making the database more secure. Unfortunately there are some views that are still using 'user'#'%' even though 'user'#'172....' is technically correct.
I also have the similar problem, and later on I found it is because I changed my hostname (not localhost).
Therefore I get it resolved by specifying the --host=127.0.0.1
mysql -p mydatabase --host=127.0.0.1
According way you create your user, MySQL interprets a different manner. For instance, if you create a user like this:
create user user01 identified by 'test01';
MySQL expects you give some privilege using grant all on <your_db>.* to user01;
Don't forget to flush privileges;
But, if you create user like that (by passing an IP address), you have to change it to:
create user 'user02'#'localhost' identified by 'teste02';
so, to give some privileges you have to do that:
grant all on <your_db>.* to user02#localhost;
flush privileges;
Make sure the user has a localhost entry in the users table. That was the problem I was having. EX:
CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
For annoying searching getting here after searching for this error message:
Access denied for user 'someuser#somewhere' (using password: YES)
The issue for me was not enclosing the password in quotes. eg. I needed to use -p'password' instead of -ppassword
Try this:
If you have already created your user, you might have created your user with the wrong password.
So drop that user and create another user by doing this.
To see your current users.
SELECT Host,User FROM mysql.user;
To drop the user
DROP User '<your-username>'#'localhost';
After this you can create the user again with the correct password
CREATE USER '<your-username>'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '<correct password>';
then
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
You might still run into some more errors with getting access to the database, if you have that error run this.
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to '<your-username>'#'localhost';
In my case the same error happen because I was trying to use mysql by just typing "mysql" instead of "mysql -u root -p"
connect your server from mysqlworkbench and run this command->
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
The error of ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user might not be always related to privilages problems but to the fact that there is a missing -p at the end of the command:
# Will prompt us a mysql terminal in case there are no privilages issues
mysql -u root -p
# Will fail with the mentioned ERROR 1045
mysql -u root
sometimes,it can just be a wrong password.Kindly remember your passwords including their sensitivity.
I had this issue and something dummy ended up solving.
For some reason "locahost" was not resolving for anything, so using its local IP made it work.
So you would change
mysql -h localhost -P 33061
to:
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 33061
Had a similar issue when trying to grant privileges to an already existing user using the command:
use my-db;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON my-database.* TO 'my-user'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'my-password';
Here's how I solved it:
It had to do with 2 issues:
The password of the already exiting user was different from the password that provided in the GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES command. I had to rerun the GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES with the correct password for the already existing user.
The host name of the database server that I provided when connecting to the database was incorrect. I had created the database and the user on a particular database server and I was trying to connect to another database server different from the database server where the database and the user were created. I had to get the correct database server hostname, and I used it for the connection.
After all this were sorted, I was able to connect to the database using the credentials.
The issue was that my-user already had the privileges I wanted to grant it.
You can check to see the privileges that you've granted your user using:
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'your-user'#'%';
OR
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'your-user'#'localhost';
That's all.
Just add computer name instead of 'localhost' in hostname or MySQL Host address.
I have been using MySQL successfully using the command line, and have created various databases (mostly for CMS).
I decided to try using phpMyAdmin which I saw mentioned in a book on Joomla!.
But when I click on Databases, I only see information_schema, phpMyAdmin, and test.
I want to be able to administer all of my databases (presumably giving appropriate credentials). Probably related is the fact that if I log into mysql as the phpmyadmin user and do a show databases; query, I see only those three databases.
Do I need some sort of a grant involving the show_db_priv (granting to the phpmyadmin user)? If that's it, what is the exact syntax for doing that? When I do a show grants for this user, I can see that show_db_priv is not one of them.
Login as MySQL root user in phpMyAdmin. If you're not able to login as root in-spite of providing correct password, then make sure that you have this line in your phpMyAdmin's config.inc.php and is set to true.
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot'] = true;
If you've not assigned password to MySQL root account, then default password is blank. In that case check that AllowNoPassword is set to true in phpMyAdmin's config.inc.php
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
Not sure if this answer is relevant, as I am using phpMyAdmin as part of WAMP on a single site machine. Still, it might help someone else running into the problem of phpMyAdmin not displaying existing databases.
After installing WAMP on a new machine (with phpMyAdmin 4.0.4), and using a php script of mine to create some databases, phpMyAdmin would only show the information_schema and test databases.
When I ran mysql from a command prompt, the databases were there, so wtf??
After some experimenting I discovered that adding the following line cured the problem:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
Note that the config.inc.php already had
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'mypwd';
Note: The auth_type parameter is discussed in http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/auth_types,
but I don't see any comment on failure to show user created databases.
More details:
Without the auth_type line, a SHOW GRANTS (from phpMyAdmin) yields:
GRANT USAGE ON . TO ''#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*CF74EB88D030BC86A14151B7CE22C8808A19AA4B'
With the auth_type line, SHOW GRANTS yields:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*CF74EB88D030BC86A14151B7CE22C8808A19AA4B' WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT PROXY ON ''#'' TO 'root'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION
The easy way:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'phpmyadmin'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Those two lines will grant all privileges for the user phpmyadmin. You might need to restart mysql service.
If you didn't have a user named phpmyadmin in the first place, you can create it with the following:
CREATE USER 'phpmyadmin'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_secret_password';
This answer definitely exists somewhere else, but I can't find it to give it credit.
Using this command
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to 'brian'#'%' identified by 'password';
I try to login with:
mysql -u brian -ppassword
The error is:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'brian'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
I am doing this as root and I did try to flush privileges.
I tried this with countless users but it does not seem to work. I can create a user with no password and login works. Command line and from phpmyadmin
Also check to see if the user was in mysql.user which it is.
Show grants for brian shows:
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'brian'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19' |
You probably have this perpetual MySQL problem where one of the default users in the user table is '' # localhost, which winds up denying all localhost users later in the table. What I would do is mysqldump the mysql database and look for this entry in the User table; if found, delete it and flush privileges.
For more details see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/connection-access.html.
It is a common misconception to think that, for a given user name, all rows that explicitly name that user are used first when the server attempts to find a match for the connection. This is not true. The preceding example illustrates this, where a connection from h1.example.net by jeffrey is first matched not by the row containing 'jeffrey' as the User column value, but by the row with no user name. As a result, jeffrey is authenticated as an anonymous user, even though he specified a user name when connecting.
This is a problem caused by the anonymous users.
Once I install MySQL I always run
shell> mysql_secure_installation
and select to set/change the root password, remove anonymous users, disallow remote root login, remove the test database. This will remove the anonymous user and secure your installation. It should also solve the problem you have.
mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
None of the solutions provided here worked. After loads of error and trial I realised that I had special characters in the password. Changing password without special characters solved the issue
The mysql docs have this to say:
(from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-users.html):
Two of the accounts have a user name of monty and a password of some_pass. Both accounts are superuser accounts with full privileges to do anything. The 'monty'#'localhost' account can be used only when connecting from the local host. The 'monty'#'%' account uses the '%' wildcard for the host part, so it can be used to connect from any host.
It is necessary to have both accounts for monty to be able to connect from anywhere as monty. Without the localhost account, the anonymous-user account for localhost that is created by mysql_install_db would take precedence when monty connects from the
local host. As a result, monty would be treated as an anonymous user. The reason for this is that the anonymous-user account has a more specific Host column value than the 'monty'#'%' account and thus comes earlier in the user table sort order.
With this in mind I would recommend you create a 'brian'#'localhost' user with the same privileges.
Finally this worked for me:
MariaDB [(none)]> drop user ''#'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
You forgot the quotes around brian in your grant statement. Try it like this:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to 'brian'#'%' identified by 'password';
I think 'Russell Silva' is right...
I created an user by
CREATE USER 'username'#'%' PASSWORD='userpassword';
But I cannot login in this account.The console told me that
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'username'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
So I created an user with the same username except that changing '%' to 'localhost',and I could finally login in as 'username'. It's quite weird for me though.
Change to native password using this command:
ALTER USER 'username'#'hostname' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
In my case it was due to me clicking "SSL: REQUIRE SSL" (in phpmyadmin). When I changed it to "REQUIRE NONE" I could log in.
You can also connect from another host and then the localhost anonymous user is bypassed and you can remove it and flush privileges:
mysql -u brian -ppassword -h 'other_host_than_localhost'
I had a similar problem attempting to connect to a Maria DB running on Ubuntu after upgrading to 17.04.
The default was to listen only on localhost, 127.0.0.1.
To make MySQL/Maria listen on all available ports and interfaces I needed to explicitly specify bind-address=0.0.0.0. I added this line to the end of the file /etc/mysql/my.cnf, i.e.
...
[client-server]
# Import all .cnf files from configuration directory
!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/
!includedir /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/
bind-address=0.0.0.0
Then...
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
Similar problem occurred for me even after verifying i haven't entered a wrong password, i couldn't login.
Below two steps solved my problem.
Dropping test database
Deleting anonymous user
stupidest thing ... special characters in the root password are okay but NOT for a user?!?!?!
Removed any !##$%^&*()_+~ characters from the user password and it worked.
