mysql -u root -h localhost -p does not help at all. I clicked enter to by pass the password;it is acceptable for the root, but look at the results. C:\mysql\bin>mysql -u alan -h localhost -p Enter password: ****** Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 28 to server version: 3.23.49-nt Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. =========================================== ============================================ mysql> grant all on mysql.* to root@localhost identified by"password"; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> \q Bye C:\mysql\bin>mysql -u root -h localhost -p Enter password: ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) That is why I stayed with alan as the user instead of the root until the solution is fixed.
