Hello.
The entity of the user in MySQL consists of two parts: the user name and the host from which user connects to MySQL server (can be a '%" - it means any host). Look like your user table doesn't have an entry for user 'root'@'host_from_you_are_connecting'. You should manually add the record for user root and your host.
