Access Denied for User root localhost using password YES - No Privileges

Question

I am continuously receiving this error   I am using mySQL Workbench and from what I am finding is that root s schema privileges are null  There are no privileges at all   I am having troubles across platforms that my server is used for and this has been all of a sudden issue   root 127 0 0 1 apparently has a lot of access but I am logged in as that  but it just assigns to localhost anyways - localhost has no privileges     I have done a few things like FLUSH HOSTS  FLUSH PRIVILEGES  etc but have found no success from that or the internet   How can I get root its access back  I find this frustrating because when I look around people expect you to  have access  but I don t have access so I can t go into command line or anything and GRANT myself anything   When running SHOW GRANTS FOR root this is what I get in return      Error Code  1141  There is no such grant defined for user  root  on   host

MySQL default password for root is assigned depending on the way you have installed MySQL.

If you have installed it from MySQL Yum repository, MySQL SUSE repository, or RPM packages directly downloaded from Oracle, you can obtain the password using following command:

sudo grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log

Use the instructions for resetting the root password - but instead of resetting the root password  we ll going to forcefully INSERT a record into the mysql user table   In the init file  use this instead  INSERT INTO mysql user  Host  User  Password  VALUES        root   password  YOURPASSWORD     GRANT ALL ON     TO  root      WITH GRANT OPTION

Well the easiest way to reset root password is    restart mysqld  --skip-grant-tables option  This enables anyone to connect without a password and with all privileges  Because this is insecure  you might want to use --skip-grant-tables in conjunction with --skip-networking to prevent remote clients from connecting  Connect to the mysqld server with this command  shell  mysql Issue the following statements in the mysql client  Replace the password with the password that you want to use  mysql  UPDATE mysql user SET Password PASSWORD  MyNewPass          -                    WHERE User  root   mysql  FLUSH PRIVILEGES  Stop the server  then restart it normally  without the --skip-grant-tables and --skip-networking options     Source Mysql documentation and personal experience   http   dev mysql com doc refman 5 6 en resetting-permissions html

If you are getting this error in Workbench but you are able to log in from terminal then follow this steps   First simply log in with your current password   sudo mysql -u root -p   Then change your password because having low strength password gives error sometimes   ALTER USER  root   localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  new-strong-password    FLUSH PRIVILEGES    Then simply exit and again login with your new password    quit  sudo mysql -u root -p   Once you successfully logged in type the command   use mysql    It should show a message like  Database changed  then type   UPDATE user SET plugin  mysql native password  WHERE User  root     After that type   UPDATE mysql user set authentication string PASSWORD  new-strong-password   where user  root     Then type   FLUSH PRIVILEGES    Then simply exit   quit   Now try to log in with your new password in your WORKBENCH  Hope it will work  Thank you

for the above problem ur password in the system should matches with the password u have passed in the program because when u run the program it checks system s password as u have given root as a user so gives u an error and at the same time the record is not deleted from the database   import java sql DriverManager  import java sql Connection  import java sql Statement  import java sql ResultSet  class Delete       public static void main String   k                String url  jdbc mysql   localhost 3306 student            String user  root           String pass  jacob234           try                       Connection myConnection DriverManager getConnection url user pass               Statement myStatement myConnection createStatement                String deleteQuery  delete from students where id 2               myStatement executeUpdate deleteQuery               System out println  delete completed             catch Exception e               System out println e getMessage                         Keep ur system password as jacob234 and then run the code

Try out the following steps to overcome this issue    Open terminal   command prompt and navigate to the bin folder of the MySQL installation folder  Then run the command mysqld --console  If you can see that line 171010 14 58 22  Note  --secure-file-priv is set to NULL  Operations related to importing and exporting data are disabled  after executing the above command from the command prompt   Then you need to check that the mysqld is either blocked by the Windows Firewall or another program  If it s blocked by Windows Firewall then need to unblock from it and save settings  To unblock the mysqld or mysql application  follow the below steps    Go to command prompt and type wf msc to open the firewall settings    Click on Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall    Check the mysqld or mysqld instances are available in the list and check the checkbox for the domain  public and private and save the settings   Return to the bin folder and try the command from step 1 again  It should work fine and not show any errors    It should be possible to run the MySQL console without any problems now
