I changed max_connection value is 1 / hour in mysql server.than I close the mySql workbench and I again try to open.It shows the above error what can I do can any one tell how to fix this.
Thanks in advance
my problem is solved using following way
Actually what i did wrong is i set max_connection_per_hour=1 in my workbench settings.
that's why i can't open the connection for some period of time .now i solved using terminal with the use of following command
$ mysql -u root -p
then i just enter the password for root user than i use the following command
mysql>$ grant usage on . to 'root'#'localhost' with max_connections_per_hour 0;
after than i can open my connection with out any problem.
i tried this command many times but after one hour only it works for me before that it gives me an error
You need to give it a reasonable value. To do this login with the sa account. Without any other connections you should be able to do this Then set the parameter to a reasonable value.
Try to restart the mysql server, from command line as root do mysqld restart. Restarting workbench does not kill the connections.

After I upgraded MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0, I started MySQL again and I got an error:The user specified as a definer ('mysql.infoschema'#'localhost') does not exist' when trying to dump tablespaces.
I don't understand why this problem occurs. And I want to know how to solve it
I had the same error when I accidentally downgraded my MySQL version from 8 to 5.7. At the first start the older version broke something so that version 8 was showing the error above.
In my case I had to enter the docker container where MySQL was running first
docker exec -it mysql bash
Then I basically followed the steps here
mysql -u root -p
mysql> SET GLOBAL innodb_fast_shutdown = 1;
mysql_upgrade -u root -p
This took some minutes but then everything was working again.
It may occur after some time after you set up your new system.
As a suggested solution, just try on Windows
1) open cmd.exe as Administrator
2) run mysql_upgrade.exe -uyour_user_name -pyour_password
mysql_upgrade.exe can be located at
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin
Then run the following to see if the infoschema user has appeared.
select user, host from mysql.user;
In my case, such error was caused by that I had changed the host of the dba user from % to localhost to strengthen the security.
I used "abcdba" with DDL right to create db schema, and used "abc" with CURD right for the Web service to use the DB. After the change, the read operations were OK but the write operations failed with the error message in the OP.
Flush privilege or restarting the server did not solve the problem. Then I changed to host of the dba user back to %. Then things have become normal again.
Apparently mysql does not like the changes of host of the dba user, and existing databases created by that dba user will have problem if the host of the dba user is changed.
Essentially, changing the host of the dba user is actually removing user abcdba#% and creating a new user abcdba#localhost. Here had come the error message, since abcdba#% and abcdba#localhost are 2 differently fully qualified usernames.
I'm having some serious trouble with a freshly installed copy of mySQL server under Ubuntu 10.10. I installed with apt and supplied a password at that time. Installation went fine, but the server is behaving very strangely.
First, to test the database, I created a php file with
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "myPassword") or die(mysql_error());
where myPassword is the one I entered when it asked, during installation. That gave me an access denied error. I tried to shell into the mySQL server to pursue a solution I read about. The normal syntax didn't work, and to get anything but "access denied", I had to do
mysql -u root password myPassword
However, instead of a mysql shell, it just spits out a list of parameters and variables. So at this point, I'm stumped; I haven't worked with mySQL through a command line in a couple of years, but none of this behavior is familiar, and I can't find a way to interact with the server.
Any help would be appreciated.
The mysql command-line parameter for supplying a password is -p, not password. You should also leave out spaces. For example:
mysql -uroot -pmyPassword
If you don't want to risk your password being exposed...
mysql -uroot -p
...will prompt you for your password and hide the characters as you type them.
If you have apparmor installed (this is default) it can cause problems when you go outside the narrowly-defined defaults set up by ubuntu.
The things that mysql is allowed to touch is defined here: /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/mysql
If you've put your socket file elsewhere, you would get an access-denied message.
To look at things more closely, run your mysql client like so:
strace -e file mysql <blah blah>
This will print out any system-level file operations on stderr. You can then see exactly which operation is causing the permissions error. If you don't see an issue, you might use -e network instead, to see network operations.
I am trying to learn PHP and MySQL and while I reached a chapter on MySQL I was asked to create a database using this command:
CREATE DATABASE publications;
After I typed it in the mysql console I got this error:
ERROR 1044(42000):Access denied for user ''#localhost' to database 'root'
I am already logged in to my administrator account so I think the privileges should't be a problem.I have installed with the XAMPP package.
How can this be solved?
It could be possible that you upgraded your version of EasyPHP or you did something to disable the root password. If that is the case, you should try reestablishing a password for root. Had the same problem and that's how I solved it.
Go to http://localhost/xampp/ and set the appropriate passwords (in Security tab). If you use mysql client program, make sure you call it with appropriate credentials: mysql -u <username> -p <password>. Username will mostly be root until you create some new accounts.
Then I suggest you use phpMyAdmin for experimenting with MySQL (it should be at http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ )
This is getting a little confused - let me try to answer this.
Mysqladmin is a command line client for administering your mysql database system - you normally don't need to run it once you have mysql working. The shell command line interface to the mysql server is mysql. (If you don't know how to run a shell command line, that's another problem. Also, if you're on Windows, say so, since that has its own challenges.) The arguments are:
mysql -u username -ppassword databasename
if you are running this command on the same server as mysql. Note the lack of space after the -p - that is important.
So, type the above line to invoke the command line interface to mysql. Then you can type your mysql commands. Things like show tables, desc tablename, etc., will work. That is they will work unless you have an authentication problem. But you will know you have an authentication problem because when you tried to run mysql as above, it will fail with some error, like "Access denied for user 'abc'#'localhost' (using password: YES)". This is a nice descriptive error message that points you exactly where the problem is.
Does that help?
You can go back to using xampp or anything else once you've made sure that you know the right parameters by checking with the command line. (Always check with the command line when strangeness happens - it's so much easier than trying to debug through other interfaces.)
I accidentally changed the "host" value for the root user inside of the user table for mysql.
I need to change it back to localhost because I changed it to arancillary2125 (my other machines DNS name) but I cannot access mysql (from PHPMYADMIN or command prompt) due to "localhost" not having permissions any more.
I am running windows XP // apache //
I have tried the following solutions but they didn't work:
https://serverfault.com/questions/92870/1130-host-localhost-is-not-allowed-to-connect-to-this-mysql-server
Whoops.
This is on your local machine, I assume? At Start->Run, enter 'services.msc' and locate the MySQL service. Stop the service.
Edit:
Find your my.ini file (usually in C:\Windows or C:\mysql, etc). If you don't have one, create one. It's just a plain ASCII file.
Alter the file, add this in the [mysqld] section: skip-grant-tables.
On the command line, issue the command net start MySQL and wait a moment, the MySQL service should start.
Still on the command line, issue the command mysql -u root and hit "ENTER". You should be logged into MySQL as the 'root' user. Carefully change your grants and then logout. Stop the MySQL service / server. Re-edit your my.ini file and remove / comment out the skip-grant-tables line, and again start the server. Try to login as root again.
Just tested this on my Win XP Pro box.
This essentially has the effect of bypassing all the grant tables and thus doesn't bother to lookup whether you're supposed to access it from that machine or not.
MySQL reference manual : --skip-grant-tables option
So I had this problem aswell, happened all of a sudden with #1130 - Host ‘localhost’ is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server.
After searching and searching I can tell you that bdl solution is the way forward, once you can log back into the server you can change the permissions about and remove the line skip-grant-tables under your my.ini mysql config file.
I would have just upvoted bdl's post but im too new on the website to do that yet.
Recreate arancillary2125 (if even on an old desk top) and then access your DB that way.
I lost my MySQL username and password. How do I retrieve it?
Stop the MySQL process.
Start the MySQL process with the --skip-grant-tables option.
Start the MySQL console client with the -u root option.
List all the users;
SELECT * FROM mysql.user;
Reset password;
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('[password]') WHERE User='[username]';
But DO NOT FORGET to
Stop the MySQL process
Start the MySQL Process normally (i.e. without the --skip-grant-tables option)
when you are finished. Otherwise, your database's security could be compromised.
Unfortunately your user password is irretrievable. It has been hashed with a one way hash which if you don't know is irreversible. I recommend go with Xenph Yan above and just create an new one.
You can also use the following procedure from the manual for resetting the password for any MySQL root accounts on Windows:
Log on to your system as Administrator.
Stop the MySQL server if it is running. For a server that is running as a Windows service, go to
the Services manager:
Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
Then find the MySQL service in the list, and stop it. If your server is
not running as a service, you may need to use the Task Manager to force it to stop.
Create a text file and place the following statements in it. Replace the password with the password that you want to use.
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
The UPDATE and FLUSH statements each must be written on a single line. The UPDATE statement resets the password for all existing root accounts, and the FLUSH statement tells the server to reload the grant tables into memory.
Save the file. For this example, the file will be named C:\mysql-init.txt.
Open a console window to get to the command prompt:
Start Menu -> Run -> cmd
Start the MySQL server with the special --init-file option:
C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --init-file = C:\mysql-init.txt
If you installed MySQL to a location other than C:\mysql, adjust the command accordingly.
The server executes the contents of the file named by the --init-file option at startup, changing each root account password.
You can also add the --console option to the command if you want server output to appear in the console window rather than in a log file.
If you installed MySQL using the MySQL Installation Wizard, you may need to specify a --defaults-file option:
C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld-nt.exe" --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\my.ini" --init-file=C:\mysql-init.txt
The appropriate --defaults-file setting can be found using the Services Manager:
Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
Find the MySQL service in the list, right-click on it, and choose the Properties option. The Path to executable field contains the --defaults-file setting.
After the server has started successfully, delete C:\mysql-init.txt.
Stop the MySQL server, then restart it in normal mode again. If you run the server as a service, start it from the Windows Services window. If you start the server manually, use whatever command you normally use.
You should now be able to connect to MySQL as root using the new password.
An improvement to the most useful answer here:
1] No need to restart the mysql server
2] Security concern for a MySQL server connected to a network
There is no need to restart the MySQL server.
use FLUSH PRIVILEGES; after the update mysql.user statement for password change.
The FLUSH statement tells the server to reload the grant tables into memory so that it notices the password change.
The --skip-grant-options enables anyone to connect without a password and with all privileges. Because this is insecure, you might want to
use --skip-grant-tables in conjunction with --skip-networking to prevent remote clients from connecting.
from: reference: resetting-permissions-generic
Do it without down time
Run following command in the Terminal to connect to the DBMS (you need root access):
sudo mysql -u root -p;
run update password of the target user (for my example username is mousavi and it's password must be 123456):
UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('123456') WHERE user='mousavi';
at this point you need to do a flush to apply changes:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Done! You did it without any stop or restart mysql service.
While you can't directly recover a MySQL password without bruteforcing, there might be another way - if you've used MySQL Workbench to connect to the database, and have saved the credentials to the "vault", you're golden.
On Windows, the credentials are stored in %APPDATA%\MySQL\Workbench\workbench_user_data.dat - encrypted with CryptProtectData (without any additional entropy). Decrypting is easy peasy:
std::vector<unsigned char> decrypt(BYTE *input, size_t length) {
DATA_BLOB inblob { length, input };
DATA_BLOB outblob;
if (!CryptUnprotectData(&inblob, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, CRYPTPROTECT_UI_FORBIDDEN, &outblob)) {
throw std::runtime_error("Couldn't decrypt");
}
std::vector<unsigned char> output(length);
memcpy(&output[0], outblob.pbData, outblob.cbData);
return output;
}

If you have root access to the server where mysql is running you should stop the mysql server using this command
sudo service mysql stop
Now start mysql using this command
sudo /usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &
Now you can login to mysql using
sudo mysql
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'#'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPass');

Login MySql from windows cmd using existing user:
mysql -u username -p
Enter password:****
Then run the following command:
mysql> SELECT * FROM mysql.user;
After that copy encrypted md5 password for corresponding user and there are several online password decrypted application available in web. Using this decrypt password and use this for login in next time.
or update user password using flowing command:
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('[password]') WHERE User='[username]';
Then login using the new password and user.
After MySQL 5.7.6 and MariaDB 10.1.20 (currently in 2022) you can:
Update a mysql user password having access to root user
ALTER USER 'some_user_name'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'a_super_secure_password';
Update mysql root user
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password by 'mynewpassword';
List all users
select user from mysql.user;
IF you happen to have ODBC set up, you can get the password from the ODBC config file. This is in /etc/odbc.ini for Linux and in the Software/ODBC folder in the registry in Windows (there are several - it may take some hunting)
Save the file. For this example, the file will be named C:\mysql-init.txt.
it asking administrative permisions for saving the file
Although a strict, logical, computer science'ish interpretation of the op's question would be to require both "How do I retrieve my MySQL username" and "password" - I thought It might be useful to someone to also address the OR interpretation. In other words ...
1) How do I retrieve my MySQL username?
OR
2) password
This latter condition seems to have been amply addressed already so I won't bother with it. The following is a solution for the case "How do i retreive my MySQL username" alone. HIH.
To find your mysql username run the following commands from the mysql shell ...
SELECT User FROM mysql.user;
it will print a table of all mysql users.
