I recently installed mysql server and client, but I can’t connect to the server. I get this message:
Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: YES/NO)
Whatever I do i will always get the same message.
I tried commenting bind-address but still the same thing.
If you set up a password for the root user during installation, then start the mysql client with the -p option,
mysql -u root -p, and it should prompt you for a password.If there’s no password set, leave the
-poff and it should log right in.If you’ve somehow forgotten what the root password is, you can fix it by following these instructions… http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
