This may be a noob question.
But I have tried everything, purging and reinstalling trying to reconfigure and the works.
For some reason my root that was set without a password on localhost is denying me access
I have tried to reset the root password using the command line but to no avail.
Does anybody know how to get this error to be fixed?
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'devin'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
I am using linux and ubuntu
Even though you set your root user to login without a password, this does not mean that user devin has been configured to login without a password.
Edit your .my.cnf file:
vi ~/.my.cnf
In the file which you see, hard code the password for user devin, save the file, then exit.
[client]
user=devin
password=your_password_goes_here
Then restart MySQL and devin should be able to login without using a password.
The following command should work to connect you to a database called my_db:
mysql --user=devin my_db

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 tried to change password in my database but after i changed it right away, I got an error saying
mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user
'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
and
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server
rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and
password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to
the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
How to fix this? Do i need to configure something about the connection and where can I fix it?
Do you able to connect mysql in command line.
#mysql -u root -p
then provide the password to access mysql command line.
if Yes, then please make sure that you given the correct information while installing the phpmyadmin.
I have an issue with accessing MySQL using root and password.
I am trying to connect the Server using PuTTY SSH using
> mysql u root -p
For an unknown reason I can NOT access the Database and I am getting rejected with the following ERROR:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
The weird thing is that I am using the same password with PhpMyAdmin using Web and I can access everything. I need to run a script that will allow the SQL server
root#localhost user
run the query over the LAN and not the web.
Therefore I need the user to connect using command line SSH or something like that.
How can I fix that issue? the user rott and password WORKS just fine through PhpMyAdmin and not through SSH PuTTY, Why?
Is there something I need to do in order to fix this? I have been working with the Database for 2 years now using the web interface. Now I need to have it working using SSH (22).
Please assist.
thanks in advance.

It sounds like you need to update the your password for root on MySQL.
Check here: MySQL - ERROR 1045 - Access denied
Thank you all for your help. I have managed to overcome the issue: (see below)
That was FIXED Only when I changed from old password to new. in my.cnf file I have removed the flag for old_password=1 and Restart the service of MySQL.
Then I have created a NEW password (using the old one I had) and it was created with 41 (NEW) Hash length and not 16 (OLD)..
Then I did flush privileges as you recommended - and IT WORKS.
Thank You!
> mysql -h your_host_name -P your_port_number -u your_user_name -p
try with hostname option it should work!
Ubuntu 18.04 running MySQL 5.7.28 creates a file /etc/mysql/debian.cnf. It contains some credentials and other settings. So, this debian-sys-maint user is by default a root equivalent. It is used by certain maintenance scripts on Debian systems, and as a side-effect, allows users with root access on the box to view the plaintext password in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf. If your SSH using a client fails after a fresh install through root try using the credentials set in this file.
I changed my root level password on phpMyAdmin. I was unsure where to enter the password itself, as it did not give me the option (login form). I wondered if it was the php.ini file but users with read privileges could read it if I placed the password in there.
Now, the mysql doesn't run as I tried various online resources to fix the problem. If needs be I would delete mamp and re-install but I do not want to lose my database files. Ideally I would revert the password to default, which I believe was nothing, except now I cannot connect to phpmyadmin, or the mamp start page:
Error: Could not connect to MySQL server!
Any help would be great.
UPDATE -
Error message from mamp:
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect
This seemed to have fixed it when using terminal to reset the password:
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password newpassword
Found on mamp faq.
Look in the files:
checkMysql.sh
quickCheckMysqlUpgrade.sh
repairMysql.sh
stopMysql.sh
The important one in this case is "quickCheckMysqlUpgrade.sh".
All the files are located in the /Applications/MAMP/bin/ directory.
In these files you'll find something like
# /bin/sh
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqlcheck --quick --check-upgrade -u root -proot --socket=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock mysql
When you see -proot that is the password MAMP will try to use,
-p{password}.
-p means "password" and whatever comes after is the password.
So change "-proot" to eg. "-pmysecret" or whatever your password is.
I was being annoyed by the startup "access denied" error MAMP would show, even though I was able to access my site using phpMyAdmin or other SQL tools. I even found/updated the password in checkMysql.sh, repairMysql.sh, and upgradeMysql.sh. I did not notice the script called quickCheckMysqlUpgrade.sh and correcting the password in that fixed the startup error for me.
I just solved this issue on my MBP!
In MAMP Pro (v352), go to the MySQL tab and press "Change Password".
I have a VPS running CentOS and have apache, php, mysql all installed. I was following a tutorial for installation and apparently did something wrong when setting up mysql (I believe something with setting user and password). Now whenever I try to get to the MySQL command line interface I receive this error.
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
I looked this up and got a few suggestions to try to bypass so I can reset the passwords. I've tried:
/etc/init.d/mysqld --skip-grant-tables
Which came up with the same error. I tried reinstalling by first removing mysql and then installing it again. Same Error appears. What else can I do?
(if U don't have anything in DB, remove mysqlDB - not installation, but DB files in /var/lib/mysql/ - backup it first!)
start this: shell# mysql_secure_installation
it will ask U to:
Set a root password. If you already have it
you’ll need to enter it for the remaining steps.
Remove anonymous users
Disable non-local root access
Remove the test database and access rules related to it
Reload privilege tables so the above changes are in effect
