Thanks so much Schalk,
OK here is what I did – it's still is not working. I ran the command:
update mysql.user set host = 'localhost, %' where user = 'myusername';FLUSH
PRIVILEGES;
I then checked the user table with the command: SELECT * from mysql.user;
I find the below entry in the table:
|
localhost, % | myusername | 0528e2af7e81824b | N |
N | N | N | N | N |
N | N | N | N | N |
N | N | N | N | N |
N | N | N |
N | N | N | N
| N | N | N
| | | | | 0
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
It appears that the changes took place since both localhost and % are now
listed above.
I
then logged out of root, then tried to log back in with the username
that I just updated using login command: mysql -uMyUserName
–pMyPassword123
And I still can’t get a login: Access denied for user 'myusername'@'localhost'
(using password: YES)
Whenever I login as root, I use the command: mysql -uroot –pMyRootPassword12321
