First jump to the mysql bin directory. You have two ways to connect

1) mysql -u root -p1234 (without space for password flag) 2) mysql -u root -p and enter the password when it is asking

Answer 2

Use this :

mysql -u user_name -p  then press_enter_key

then type password

i.e.

line-1 : mysql -u root -p

line-2 : admin

Answer 3

Your have to go on mysql installed path is on drive C:, then your commands need to be:

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin>mysql.exe -u root -p

OR

C:\>cd \MYSQL\Bin
C:\MYSQL\Bin>mysql -u root -p

That will ask your MySql password over command prompt:

Enter password: ******

mysql -u(username) -p(password)

Answer 6

You are logging in incorrectly; you should not include = in your login. So to log in, type:

mysql.exe -uroot -padmin

If that doesn't work, then you may not have your system configured. If so, then here's a good tutorial on getting started with the MySQL prompt: http://breakdesign.blogspot.com/2007/11/getting-started-with-php-and-mysql-in_11.html
