MySQL said: Documentation

1045 - Access denied for user \'root\'@\'localhost

Answer 1

I'm using Linux Mint 18.2 of this writing. I had a similar issue; when trying to load myphpadmin, it said: "1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)"

I found the file in the /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin directory. I opened the config.inc.php file with my text editor and typed in the correct password. Saved it, and launched it successfully. Profit!

I was having problems with modifying folders and files, I had to change permission to access all my files in /opt/lampp/ directory. I hope this helps someone in the future.

Answer 2

I had this problem after changing the password for the root user in phpMyAdmin. I know nothing about programming but I solved it by doing the following:

1. Go to file C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1\config.inc.php (I guess you would replace "wamp" with the name of your server if you're not using Wamp Server)

2. Find the line $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='' and change this to

   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='NO'
   

3. Try opening phpMyAdmin again, and hopefully the message will now read "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

4. Now change the password in the above line to 'yourpassword' (whatever you had set it to before)

Hope this helps somebody.

where root is the name of the password you had set in this instance

Answer 5

Check your MySQL Port number 3306.

Is there any other MySQL Install in your system on same port ?

If any installation found the change the port number to any number between 3301-3309 (except 3306)

user name : root
password : ' ' (Empty)
