I had some tweaking for my server and unfortunately I can't log to phpmyadmin via whm anymore nore via ssh as I have access denied for root#localhost.
I tried to change my sql root password via whm but it give me the following error :
Unable to reset the MySQL root password.
The subprocess reported error number 1 when it ended.
Can anyone help me?
You'll have to check if you are able to login to mysql from a command prompt. Login to your server via SSH and issue a mysql. It should login to your mysql server.
If that doesn't work then do a cat /root/.my.cnf. There you should have the previous mysql root password. Copy that password and try this:
mysql -u root -p (then when prompted paste the password if you have copied earlier).
If you get an authentication failed message then that password is not the correct one and you have to manually change (you said you can't change it from WHM).
Do you use a local mysql server or a remote mysql server?
In order to change the mysql root password you have to stop the mysql service on the server and start it manually with skip grants option.
Depending on your CentOS version you have to options to stop the mysql service:
- CentOS 6.x - /etc/init.d/mysql stop
- CentOS 7.x - systemctl stop mysql
Then manually start the mysql service:
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
Then issue the following:
mysql --user=root mysql
update user set Password=PASSWORD('new-password') where user='root';
flush privileges;
exit;
Restart mysql and you should be able to login with your new password. You might also want to save it in /root/.my.cnf as well.
I hope it helps!
Bogdan, seems you have to issue one more command: use mysql;
And it's quite possible that issuing the command: update user set Password=PASSWORD('new-password') where user='root';
you will be errored that there is no field Password. It happens if you're running mysql server version 5.7+. In such case change command as follows:
use mysql;update user set authentication_string=PASSWORD('new-password') where user='root';
Hi I will repair my tables in ssh but it want mysql admin password.
Admin password different then my plesk admin or root password.
I did't change admin mysql password.
/usr/local/psa/bin/admin --show-password this password isn't work
I want to get password or change but I don't know it.
I'm using plesk if I change password direct at mysql.users probably I cant login plesk.Is it wrong?
Please help me how can get or change this password?

You can use string stored in /etc/psa/.psa.shadow as mysql user admin password.
For example, to upgrade mysql tables try this command:
# mysql_upgrade -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`
I'm using plesk if I change password direct at mysql.users probably I cant login plesk.
It's true.
I installed wamp 2.1 on windows 7. However when i open phpMyAdmin, I get the error, Mysql 'No Provileges'. I uninstalled wamp and reinstalled it a few times, but it doesn't help. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Also, when i tried creating a database from mysql console, i am getting the following error:
ERROR 1044 <42000>: Access denied for user ''#'localhost' to database 'a_db_name'
Thank God and to all helped.
Its simple.
Must! click logout icon in phpadmin page
In login page, type:
username:root password: (blank)
surprise. now you can happily create your database.
Are you logging into MySQL as root? You have to explicitly grant privileges to your "regular" MySQL user account while logged in as MySQL root.
First set up a root account for your MySQL database.
In the terminal type:
mysqladmin -u root password 'password'
To log into MySQL, use this:
mysql -u root -p
Edit:
To set the privileges manually start the server with the skip-grant-tables option, open mysql client and manually update the mysql.user table and/or the mysql.db tables. This can be a tedious task though so if what you need is an account with all privs I would do the following.
Start the server with the skip-grant-tables option
Start mysql client (without a username/password)
Issue the command
flush privileges;
which forces the grant tables to be loaded.
Create a new account with the GRANT command something like this (but replacing username and password with whatever you want to use.
GRANT ALL on *.* to 'username'#'localhost' identified by 'password';
Restart the server in normal mode (without skip-grant-tables) and log in with your newly created account.
Refer this MySQL docs.
Take a look at my topic regarding this issue, which takes some of the above.
MAMP mysql broken root user
You need to shutdown your mysql install and restart it from the command line properly like is indicated above. In my topic I have full clear instructions on how to do so. My instructions are for MAMP but you should be able to adapt it for your install.
Simple solution. Just find the icon right to "home" in PhpMyAdmin and click to logout. Then login using username "root" and password ""(blank). This will work accordingly.
username ought to be root and keep the password null(keep the password field blank)
right click on the wamp icon and goto mysql console.
Login with password if you have set any.By default the password is blank and username is 'root'
Once you are in mysql prompt execute
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
now quit the command prompt and you are good to go.
in step 1 .inter your databasevery important.
in step 2 .select your database via all tables .
in step 3. backup type=replace & export.
in step 4 import database in my sql.
attention please:in import your database...
all table must view & selected in step 4.
I tried to deploy web application on my server and I am getting this mysql database exception
Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES) (Mysql::Error)
I tried to access the database from the command prompt using mysql -u root -p I am able to do all the database operations.
what is the error

You need to grant access to root from localhost. Check this ubuntu help
try using root like..
mysql -uroot
then you can check different user and host after you logged in by using
select user,host,password from mysql.user;
check you are putting blank space in password.
From my answer here, thought this might be useful:
I tried many steps to get this issue corrected. There are so many sources for possible solutions to this issue that is is hard to filter out the sense from the nonsense. I finally found a good solution here:
Step 1: Identify the Database Version
$ mysql --version
You'll see some output like this with MySQL:
$ mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.16, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper
Or output like this for MariaDB:
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.52-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
Make note of which database and which version you're running, as you'll use them later. Next, you need to stop the database so you can access it manually.
Step 2: Stopping the Database Server
To change the root password, you have to shut down the database server beforehand.
You can do that for MySQL with:
$ sudo systemctl stop mysql
And for MariaDB with:
$ sudo systemctl stop mariadb
Step 3: Restarting the Database Server Without Permission Checking
If you run MySQL and MariaDB without loading information about user privileges, it will allow you to access the database command line with root privileges without providing a password. This will allow you to gain access to the database without knowing it.
To do this, you need to stop the database from loading the grant tables, which store user privilege information. Because this is a bit of a security risk, you should also skip networking as well to prevent other clients from connecting.
Start the database without loading the grant tables or enabling networking:
$ sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &
The ampersand at the end of this command will make this process run in the background so you can continue to use your terminal.
Now you can connect to the database as the root user, which should not ask for a password.
$ mysql -u root
You'll immediately see a database shell prompt instead.
MySQL Prompt
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
mysql>
MariaDB Prompt
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
MariaDB [(none)]>
Now that you have root access, you can change the root password.
Step 4: Changing the Root Password
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Now we can actually change the root password.
For MySQL 5.7.6 and newer as well as MariaDB 10.1.20 and newer, use the following command:
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';
For MySQL 5.7.5 and older as well as MariaDB 10.1.20 and older, use:
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'#'localhost' = PASSWORD('new_password');
Make sure to replace new_password with your new password of choice.
Note: If the ALTER USER command doesn't work, it's usually indicative of a bigger problem. However, you can try UPDATE ... SET to reset the root password instead.
[IMPORTANT] This is the specific line that fixed my particular issue:
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string = PASSWORD('new_password') WHERE User = 'root' AND Host = 'localhost';
Remember to reload the grant tables after this.
In either case, you should see confirmation that the command has been successfully executed.
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
The password has been changed, so you can now stop the manual instance of the database server and restart it as it was before.
Step 5: Restart the Database Server Normally
The tutorial goes into some further steps to restart the database, but the only piece I used was this:
For MySQL, use:
$ sudo systemctl start mysql
For MariaDB, use:
$ sudo systemctl start mariadb
Now you can confirm that the new password has been applied correctly by running:
$ mysql -u root -p
The command should now prompt for the newly assigned password. Enter it, and you should gain access to the database prompt as expected.
Conclusion
You now have administrative access to the MySQL or MariaDB server restored. Make sure the new root password you choose is strong and secure and keep it in safe place.
I faced the same error after upgrading MySQL server from 5.1.73 to 5.5.45
There is another way to fix that error.
In my case I was able to connect to MySQL using root password but MySQL actively refused to GRANT PRIVILEGES to any user;
Connect to MySQL as root
mysql -u root -p
then enter your MySQL root password;
Select database;
use mysql;
Most probably there is only one record for root in mysql.user table allowing to connect only from localhost (that was in my case) but by the default there should be two records for root, one for localhost and another one for 127.0.0.1;
Create additional record for root user with Host='127.0.0.1' if it's not there;
SET #s = CONCAT('INSERT INTO mysql.user SELECT ',
REPLACE((SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(COLUMN_NAME)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'user' AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'mysql')
,"Host","'127.0.0.1'"),
' FROM mysql.user WHERE User="root"');
PREPARE stmt FROM #s;
EXECUTE stmt;
Additionally to that you can execute mysql_upgrade -u -p
to see if everything is ok.
This error happens if you did not set the password on install, in this case the mysql using unix-socket plugin.
But if delete the plugin link from settings (table mysql.user) will other problem. This does not fix the problem and creates another problem. To fix the deleted link and set password ("PWD") do:
1) Run with --skip-grant-tables as said above.
If it doesnt works then add the string skip-grant-tables in section [mysqld] of /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf. Then do sudo service mysql restart.
2) Run mysql -u root -p, then (change "PWD"):
update mysql.user
set authentication_string=PASSWORD("PWD"), plugin="mysql_native_password"
where User='root' and Host='localhost';
flush privileges;
quit
then sudo service mysql restart. Check: mysql -u root -p.
Before restart remove that string from file mysqld.cnf, if you set it there.
#bl79 is the author of this answer, i've just reposted it, because it does help!
My application is using Mura CMS and I faced this issue. However the solution was the password mismatch between my mysql local server and the password in the config files. As soon as I synched them it worked.
I solved this problem by deleting the empty users creating by MySQL. I only have root user and my own user. I deleted the rest.
Update the empty password in the table mysql.user of mysql
use mysql;
select host,user,password from mysql.user;
update mysql.user set password = PASSWORD('123456') where password = '';
flush privileges;
Update user table in mysql DB. And set some password where it is blank, i was using root user so i set password for root user.
update mysql.user set password = PASSWORD('123456') where password = '';
flush privileges;
And then again tried from ATG CIM by providing password and it worked fine.

I got this problem today while installing SugarCRM (a free CRM).
The system was not able to connect to the database using the root user. I could definitively log in as root from the console... so what was the problem?
I found out that in my situation, I was getting exactly the same error, but that was because the password was sent to mysql directly from the $_POST data, in other words, the < character from my password was sent to mysql as < which means the password was wrong.
Everything else did not help a bit. The list of users in mysql were correct, including the anonymous user (which appears after the root entries.)
I googled a lot but did not find a definite answer to my problem. I used KeyPass to generate a strong password and could use it successfully on mysql workbench to connect but not from the command line. So I changed the psw to an easy one and it worked on the command line. I have managed to create a strong password that was able to connect from the terminal. So my advise is, try with an easy password first before trying all kind of things.
I was running UTs and I started receiving error messages. I am not sure what was the problem. But when I changed my encoding style in INTELLIJ to UTF8 it started working again.
access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password yes)
hibernate
this is my URL
db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/somedb?useUnicode=true&connectionCollation=utf8_general_ci&characterSetResults=utf8&characterEncoding=utf8
Add a user option in msyql.
GRANT PROXY ON ''#'' TO 'root'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
and this link will be useful.
I get the error #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
after I accidentaly changed the password in phpmyadmin for root and 127.0.0.1 . the problem is i cannot change common.lib.php. I want to revert these changes in mysql somehow... Doe to the security of the server i cannot change much
I hope you can access the mysql server administration. As I know the root is the main user in MySQL it'll be a problem if you cannot access it. If you have a user with the same level, try to change the password there if possible.
Here's the step on how to reset the root password in MySQL
How to Reset the Root Password
I was also dependent in phpmyadmin before until I know sqlyog and MySQL Query Browser and WorkBench. Have a look on this as an alternative on phpmyadmin.
Download MySQL Workbench
SQLyog free download
It's been a while since I've used phpMyAdmin, but if I'm not mistaken, it stores it's passwords in the mysql database it self. So, if you are able to get access to the command-line of the server, you are able to change the password using simple SQL statements.
Go to /etc/phpmyadmin folder.
Open config-db.php
Here you will find your default username and password
