Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' in mysql
Hi,
I installed MySQL in Lenny.
When I try to login in with mysql -u root -p, I receive :
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I tried to reset the password of root by adding skip-grant-tables in my.cnf then restart mysql.
I could login in with mysql -u root then I ran the following commands:
mysql> update user set password=password('password') where user='root';
mysql> flush privileges;
I removed skip-grant-tables from my.cnf and restarted mysqld. I still have:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Any idea or clues about how to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Bernard
