I had a somewhat similar problem - on my first attempt to enter MySQL  as root  it told me access denied  Turns out I forgot to use the sudo      So  if you fail on root first attempt  try   sudo mysql -u root -p   and then enter your password  this should work

I discovered yet another case that appears on the surface to be an edge case  I can export to the file system  via SELECT INTO    OUTFILE as root  but not as regular user  While this may be a matter of permissions  I ve looked at that  and see nothing especially obvious  All I can say is that executing the query as a regular user who has all permissions on the data base in question returns the access denied error that led me to this topic  When I found the transcript of a successful use of SELECT INTO     OUTFILE in an old project  I noticed that I was logged in as root  Sure enough  when I logged in as root  the query ran as expected

For me  this problem was caused by a new feature of MySQL 5 7 2  user entries are ignored if their plugin field is empty   Set it to e g  mysql native password to reenable them   UPDATE user SET plugin  mysql native password  WHERE user  foo   FLUSH PRIVILEGES    See the release notes for MySQL 5 7 2  under   Authentication Notes     For some reason  maybe because my pre-4 1 password hashes were removed   the mysql upgrade script didn t set a default plugin value   I found out by noticing the following warning message in  var log mysql error log       Warning  User entry  foo      has an empty plugin value  The user will  be ignored and no one can login with this user anymore    I post this answer here to maybe save someone from using the same ridiculous amount of time on this as I did

A related problem in my case was trying to connect using    mysql -u mike -p mypass   Whitespace IS apparently allowed between the -u  uname  but NOT between the -p and  password   Therefore needed   mysql -u mike -pmypass   Otherwise with white-space between -p mypass mysql takes  mypass  as the db name

The percent sign means all ip s so localhost is superfluous     There is no need of the second record with the localhost    Actually there is   localhost  is special in mysql  it means a connection over a unix socket  or named pipes on windows I believe  as opposed to a TCP IP socket  using   as the host does not include  localhost   MySQL user accounts have two components  a user name and a host name  The user name identifies the user  and the host name specifies what hosts that user can connect from  The user name and host name are combined to create a user account     lt user name gt     lt host name gt   You can specify a specific IP address or address range for host name  or use the percent character       to enable that user to log in from any host    Note that user accounts are defined by both the user name and the host name  For example   root      is a different user account than  root   localhost

MySQL account names consist of a user name and a host name  The name  localhost  in host name  indicates the local host also You can use the wildcard characters         and         in host name or IP address values  These have the same meaning as for pattern-matching operations performed with the LIKE operator  For example  a host value of     matches any host name  whereas a value of    mysql com  matches any host in the mysql com domain   192 168 1    matches any host in the 192 168 1 class C network    Above was just introduction   actually both users  bill   localhost  and  bill      are different MySQL accounts  hence both should use their own authentication details like password   For more information refer http   dev mysql com doc refman  5 5 en account-names html

When you type mysql -u root -p   you re connecting to the mysql server over a local unix socket    However the grant you gave   bill      only matches TCP IP connections curiously enough   If you want to grant access to the local unix socket  you need to grant privileges to  bill   localhost    which curiously enough is not the same as  bill   127 0 0 1   You could also connect using TCP IP with the mysql command line client  as to match the privileges you already granted  e g  run mysql -u root -p -h 192 168 1 123 or whichever local IP address your box have

When you run mysql -u bill -p  localhost is resolved to your ip  since it is 127 0 0 1 and in your  etc hosts file  as default 127 0 0 1       localhost exists  So  mysql interprets you as bill localhost which is not granted with bill       This is why there are 2 different records for root user in result of select host  user from mysql user  query   There are two ways to handle this issue    One is specifying an ip which is not reversely resolved by  etc hosts file when you try to login  For example  the ip of server is 10 0 0 2  When you run the command mysql -u bill -p -h 10 0 0 2  you will be able to login  If you type select user     you will get bill 10 0 0 2  Of course  any domain name should not be resolved to this ip in your  etc hosts file   Secondly  you need grant access for this specific domain name  For bill localhost  you should call command grant all privileges on     to bill localhost identified by  billpass     In this case  you will be able to login with command mysql -u bill -p  Once logined  select user    command returns bill localhost   But this is only for that you try to login a mysql server in the same host  From remote hosts  mysql behaves expectedly      will grant you to login

You probably have an anonymous user     localhost  or     127 0 0 1    As per the manual      When multiple matches are possible  the server must determine which of   them to use  It resolves this issue as follows                When a client attempts to connect  the server looks through the rows  of table mysql user  in sorted order    The server uses the first row that matches the client host name and user name                  The server uses sorting rules that order rows with the most-specific Host values first    Literal host names  such as  localhost   and IP addresses are the most specific    Hence  such an anonymous user would  mask  any other user like   any username       when connecting from localhost    bill   localhost  does match  bill       but would match  e g       localhost  beforehands   The recommended solution is to drop this anonymous user  this is usually a good thing to do anyways      Below edits are mostly irrelevant to the main question  These are only meant to answer some questions raised in other comments within this thread   Edit 1  Authenticating as  bill      through a socket         root myhost  home mysql-5 5 16-linux2 6-x86 64    mysql -ubill -ppass --socket  tmp mysql-5 5 sock     Welcome to the MySQL monitor            mysql  SELECT user  host FROM mysql user       ------ -----------        user   host             ------ -----------        bill                     root   127 0 0 1         root     1               root   localhost        ------ -----------      4 rows in set  0 00 sec       mysql  SELECT USER    CURRENT USER         ---------------- ----------------        USER             CURRENT USER          ---------------- ----------------        bill localhost   bill                  ---------------- ----------------      1 row in set  0 02 sec       mysql  SHOW VARIABLES LIKE  skip networking        ----------------- -------        Variable name     Value        ----------------- -------        skip networking   ON           ----------------- -------      1 row in set  0 00 sec     Edit 2  Exact same setup  except I re-activated networking  and I now create an anonymous  user     localhost          root myhost  home mysql-5 5 16-linux2 6-x86 64    mysql     Welcome to the MySQL monitor            mysql  CREATE USER     localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  anotherpass       Query OK  0 rows affected  0 00 sec       mysql  Bye      root myhost  home mysql-5 5 16-linux2 6-x86 64    mysql -ubill -ppass           --socket  tmp mysql-5 5 sock     ERROR 1045  28000   Access denied for user  bill   localhost   using password  YES      root myhost  home mysql-5 5 16-linux2 6-x86 64    mysql -ubill -ppass           -h127 0 0 1 --protocol TCP     ERROR 1045  28000   Access denied for user  bill   localhost   using password  YES      root myhost  home mysql-5 5 16-linux2 6-x86 64    mysql -ubill -ppass           -hlocalhost --protocol TCP     ERROR 1045  28000   Access denied for user  bill   localhost   using password  YES     Edit 3  Same situation as in edit 2  now providing the anonymous user s password         root myhost  home mysql-5 5 16-linux2 6-x86 64    mysql -ubill -panotherpass -hlocalhost     Welcome to the MySQL monitor            mysql  SELECT USER    CURRENT USER         ---------------- ----------------        USER             CURRENT USER          ---------------- ----------------        bill localhost    localhost            ---------------- ----------------      1 row in set  0 01 sec     Conclusion 1  from edit 1  One can authenticate as  bill     through a socket   Conclusion 2  from edit 2  Whether one connects through TCP or through a socket has no impact on the authentication process  except one cannot connect as anyone else but  something   localhost  through a socket  obviously    Conclusion 3  from edit 3  Although I specified -ubill  I have been granted access as an anonymous user  This is because of the  sorting rules  advised above  Notice that in most default installations  a no-password  anonymous user exists  and should be secured removed

The best solution i found for myself is   my user is sonar and whenever i am trying to connect to my database from external or other machine i am getting error as   ERROR 1045  28000   Access denied for user  sonar   localhost   using password  YES    Also as i am trying this from another machine and through Jenkins job my URL for accessing is   alm-lt-test xyz com   if you want to connect remotely you can specify it with different ways as follows   mysql -u sonar -p -halm-lt-test xyz com mysql -u sonar -p -h101 33 65 94 mysql -u sonar -p -h127 0 0 1 --protocol TCP mysql -u sonar -p -h172 27 59 54 --protocol TCP   To access this with URL you just have to execute the following query   GRANT ALL ON sonar   TO  sonar   localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  sonar   GRANT ALL ON sonar   TO  sonar   alm-lt-test xyz com  IDENTIFIED BY  sonar   GRANT ALL ON sonar   TO  sonar   127 0 0 1  IDENTIFIED BY  sonar   GRANT ALL ON sonar   TO  sonar   172 27 59 54  IDENTIFIED BY  sonar

This may apply to very few people  but here goes  Don t use an exclamation   in your password   I did and got the above error using MariaDB  When I simplified it to just numbers and letters it worked  Other characters such as   and   work fine - I used those characters in a different user on the same instance   The fifth response at this address led me to my fix

Just wanted to let you know a unusual circumstance I received the same error  Perhaps this helps someone in the future   I had developed a few base views  created at the development site and transferred them to the production-site  Later that week I changed a PHP script and all of a sudden errors came up that Access was denied for user  local-web-user   localhost   The datasource object had not changed  so I concentrated on the database user in MySQL  worrying  in the meantime someone hacked my website  Luckily the rest of the site seemed unharmed   It later turned out that the views were the culprit s   Our object transfers are done using another  and remote  admin ip-address  user than the local website user  So the views were created with  admin   ip-address  as the definer  The view creation SECURITY default is   SQL SECURITY DEFINER   When local-web-user tries to use the view it stumbles on the lacking privileges of the definer to use the tables  Once security was changed to    SQL SECURITY INVOKER   the issue was resolved  The actual problem was completely different than anticipated based on the error message
