6.2.17 Troubleshooting Problems Connecting to MySQL

6.2.17 Troubleshooting Problems Connecting to MySQL Техника

Background

After the virtual machine has been provisioning with LAMP and you check the MariaDB status

systemctl status mariadb

The MariaDB status showed the ERROR 1045 (28000): Access Denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO).

6.2.17 Troubleshooting Problems Connecting to MySQL

It happened before BUT no documentation to fix this.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.5
sudo apt-get install mysql-client-5.5
sudo apt-get install mysql-common
sudo apt-get install glade
sudo apt-get install ntp

Then I did:

cd ~/Desktop/iPDC-v1.3.1/DBServer-1.1
mysql -uroot -proot <"Db.sql"

Got this error message:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

How can I fix this?

I recently tried to login into my MariaDB database via shell and got this error even though I’m 100% sure the password is correct:

mysql -u root -p
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I’m running a node.js server that connects to the same database with the same password with no problems…

You don’t have privileges to connect to the root mysql user. Simply use sudo:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter password that you use on your machine, after that enter password to the root mysql user.

I am new to Oracle Cloud and not an expert on MySql, I have built my first Arm-based Ampere A1. I was successfully able to install Apache web server. I tried to do a yum install for MySQL.

I can start and stop mysqld

/usr/sbin/mysqld (mysqld 8.0.27) starting as process 2408

I can confirm that port 3306 starts

However when I try to login into MySQL itself

$mysql -u root

I get the following error:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: YES).

I have tried the following

  1. I have updated /etc/my.cnf with a password for root 
  2. Turned off SELinux
  3.  sudo mysqld —skip-grant-tables —skip-networking

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I already have a mysql database in local (installed, configured and containing things for a service).

When I try to install phpmyadmin, I get the following error : ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO).

Here are the steps I do to install phpmyadmin :

  • Install phpmyadmin database : Yes
  • Socket Unix
  • Name of the database : phpmyadmin
  • MySQL ID : root@localhost
  • MySQL password : mypassword
  • MySQL password confirmation : mypassword
  • ERROR

The login and password I give to phpmyadmin are the one of the root account for the MySQL service. They work good.

I dont get why phpmyadmin ask for the password if it try to connect to the user without using it (using password: NO).

Do you have a solution to force make it using the password ? I can’t disable the password of MySQL because the service is accessible by the internet. (And I want to learn a «clean» solution).

Introduction

Most MySQL users encountered the ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’. This error message usually appears for new installations of MySQL when you try to connect to MySQL with the root user.

This guide will show you how to quickly resolve the access denied for user root on localhost. The outlined instructions apply to both MySQL and MariaDB. There will be no need to modify any tables or to perform complex configuration.

Introduction to the article on resolving the "Access denied for root user" MySQL error.

Prerequisites

  • Access to a command line or terminal window
  • MySQL or MariaDB installed
  • User with sudo or root privileges

When you install MySQL and try to access it on the local machine with the root user, the command you use is:

mysql -u root -p

In most cases, you will receive the error message Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’.

Access denied for user root localhost error message.

You can enable access for root using one MySQL command.

The same as Ulrich Metzger, after upgrading my machine to Ubuntu 16.04 and Mysql-server-5.7, I couldn’t log in with root because the plugin column changed.

My problem was not solved with sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.7 + removing + purging + cleaning.

I had to stop the mysql service:

# sudo service mysql stop

Then restart the mysql daemon with the —no-grant-tables option:

# sudo mysqld_safe —no-grant-tables &amp;

Then in another terminal, enter the mysql console (which now doesn’t need authentication) with the command mysql, and update the password and plugin columns via a SQL UPDATE:

UPDATE mysql.user 
  SET authentication_string=PASSWORD(''), 
      plugin='mysql_native_password'
WHERE User='root' AND Host='localhost';

Finally, kill the mysqld_safe command, restart mysql service and connect to mysql normally:

# sudo service mysql start
# mysql

6.2.17 Troubleshooting Problems Connecting to MySQL

I have installed MariaDB on Ubuntu 16.04. But when trying for the first time is says:

~$ mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Acces denied for user 'username'@ 'localhost' (using password: NO)

And when I try mysql_secure_installation to set a root password is says:

~$ mysql_secure_installation
NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user.  If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none): 
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Enter current password for root (enter for none): 

Giving Enter doesn’t work.
I read something about «UNIX_SOCKET plugin is installed by default in new installs of Ubuntu 15.10» but I do not understand how I can log in with this. I hope getting a answer soon!

To reset your mysqld password just follow these instructions :

Stop the mysql demon process using this command :

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

Start the mysqld demon process using the —skip-grant-tables option with this command

 sudo /usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &

Because you are not checking user privs at this point, it’s safest to disable networking. In Dapper, /usr/bin/mysqld… did not work. However, mysqld —skip-grant-tables did.

start the mysql client process using this command

mysql -u root

from the mysql prompt execute this command to be able to change any password

 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Then reset/update your password

SET PASSWORD FOR root@'localhost' = PASSWORD('password');

If you have a mysql root account that can connect from everywhere, you should also do:

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpwd') WHERE User='root';

Alternate Method:

   USE mysql
   UPDATE user SET Password = PASSWORD('newpwd')
   WHERE Host = 'localhost' AND User = 'root';

once have received a message indicating a successful query (one or more rows affected), flush privileges:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Then stop the mysqld process and relaunch it with the classical way:

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

There is another way using «Purge» given in link

пришлось поменять сервер, и тут возникла проблема с подключением к базе данных, а если быть точнее, то с подключением из Laravel.

На старом сервере была MySQL 8.0, тут же MariaDB 10.5.15, вроде как они работают на одном драйвере, но может быть ошибаюсь.

Команды в терминале выглядят вот так:

mysql -u root
use table;
select * from users;

Всё работает правильно, как и нужно.

PhpMyAdmin тоже работает правильно, а вот сайт:

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (SQL: select * from `users` where `email` = 123@gmail.com limit 1)

Получается как-то так, пробовал выдавать права (хотя не понимаю зачем, это же root), пробовал:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password USING PASSWORD('root');

Никак не помогает, пробовал создавать новых пользователей — тоже не работает, как я понимаю вся проблема именно в подключении из Laravel,

'mysql' => [
            'driver' => 'mysql',
            'url' => env('DATABASE_URL'),
            'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
            'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
            'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
            'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
            'prefix' => '',
            'prefix_indexes' => true,
            'strict' => true,
            'engine' => null,
            'options' => extension_loaded('pdo_mysql') ? array_filter([
                PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => env('MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA'),
            ]) : [],
        ],

Этот код config/database.php я не менял, и по идее он должен работать, а по факту — нет.

I am trying to set up MariaDB server under xubuntu 20.04 and import all the db’s I had previously on another machine under xubuntu 18 (following the notes I took when doing it there coming from opensuse).

The installed mariadb has datadir in /var/lib/mysql, and contains only a «null» msyql db with a root user with no password (as tested entering as sudo mysql -u root mysql which requires my personal passwd password).

I stopped the MariaDB server from the system installation, edited the mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf with my few changes (chief of them is that the datadir is /elsewhere/Mysql), then
I rsynced all my databases from the previous machine (I had prepared also mysql dumps,but since the MariaDB version is the same, I thought this was easier).

Then a systemctl start mariadb returns with no error but a systemctl status mariadb shows that the post-processing debian-start has given the error reported in the subject.

MariaDB looks running OK. I can enter with the mysql client in all my personal databases using my old mysql password, and I can also enter as mysql root using my old mysql root password. Those passwords are of course not the same as the passwd ones.

So I can work normally, only there is this slightly disturbing message from debian-start as if it was trying to login using no root password (which succeeds using the original mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf).

This did not occur on Ubuntu 18 (there I had to set ProtectHome=false, but apparently this is not required on 20)

Any way to get rid of the annoying message, or should I just live with it since all the rest works ?

MySQL treats differently «localhost» and «127.0.0.1»; the first is used to run a Unix socket connection on /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock or whatever. So you need two different GRANT instructions in your mysql.user table (at least I do on OpenSuSE Linux; on e.g. Windows your mileage may vary):

(mysql connection as root)

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES (*or privilege list*) ON yourdb.* TO user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES (*or privilege list*) ON yourdb.* TO user@127.0.0.1 IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Then, it is obvious that your script is indeed trying to install as «root@localhost». If you can’t edit the script or the installer config, you can work through that by temporarily disabling root password:

USE mysql;
UPDATE user SET Password = NULL WHERE User='root' AND Host='localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

…for greater safety, do not logout from mysql after doing this. After the install has completed, you will have to reset the root password:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mysql.* TO root@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'newpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

This does not solve the problem of what does the script do after install. Chances are that it will still use root at localhost, and still use no password. So as soon as you reset the password, it will stop working. You need to find references to root and localhost (they may be specified separately) in the script’s config: there must be something like

user = root
host = localhost
dbname = somedb

or maybe

'username' => 'root',
"hostaddr" => "localhost",
...

and change them. You can create a new user in MySQL by just issuing a new GRANT statement.

Add switch -p for password based login:

mysql -u root -p

That is the normal behaviour. You set a root password for your database so from now on you can’t access it without password. That is why it reports:

Obviously when you give the password with the -p switch you succeed.

In simple words your «root» session does not know the password of the mysql root user.

If you want to make it easier to access your mysql, create a file .my.cnf in /root/ with these lines:

[mysqladmin]
 user = root
 password = mysqlrootpassword
[mysql]
 user = root
 password = mysqlrootpassword
[mysqldump]
 user = root
 password = mysqlrootpassword

where of course mysqlrootpassword is your password for mysql’s root password. When you execute mysql it uses this password.

Attend to the safety of this file — give it secure rights, so that nobody on your server can read it!

Login to webmin and under servers, access the mySQLdatabase server.You will then be able to set the (user) password provided you have:

mysql -u (**user**) -p < /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-mysql-5.8.10/createDB.sql.

The web gui is easy but to be secure use the terminal.

maybe you should use systemctl to start the mysql server daemon

sudo systemctl start mysql.service

Also if you want to add the server to the suse standard runlevels you should use:

sudo systemctl enable mysql.service

Next up you must execute mysql_secure_installation as root.

sudo mysql_secure_installation

here you must follow the steps and enter the password for the root mysql user. note that this is not the root user of your linux box.

Now simply use the mysql client. Simply issue

mysql

^^And remember you are on suse. Something sugested like rcscript start would not work because suse is using systemd now.

Your mysql install is just complaining that you can’t connect to the instance on mysql locally as root without using a password. If you forgot the password or don’t know what it is, you can reset it as follows:

  1. Create a file (ideally in a directory that only root can read) called init.txt with the following text:

Now you can kill MySQL once again and restart the service normally (I think Suse uses rcmysql start:

Connect to the server as you’d normarlly do with:

Enter the password you specified in the init.txt file and you should be good to go. DELETE the init.txt file!!!!

This “access denied” error is one of the most common errors you’ll get when working with MySQL.

Learn how to fix it, and see a range of solutions if the suggested fix does not work, in this article.

When you try to connect to a MySQL database on your own computer (called “localhost”), you may get this error:

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

You might get an error code in front of it:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

You might also get the error with “using password no”:

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

You’ll see this if you log into MySQL using the command line:

mysql -u root -p

What does this mean? How can you fix it?

There are a few solutions to this, which I’ve detailed below. Try one, and if it doesn’t work, try another one.

Also a tip for logging in: don’t enter your password in the command line itself, because this will be stored in your command history. Use the -p option, as mentioned above, and then you’ll be prompted to enter the password.

Solution 1: Sudo then Change Password

If you get the “access denied” error, one way to solve it is by using sudo to log in to mysql and change the root password.

Step 1: Open the command line on your system.

Step 2: Open mysql using the sudo command:

sudo mysql

Step 3: Enter the password for this account.

Step 4: Change the auth_plugin to mysql_native_password, and the password for the root account, in a single command:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost'
IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'your_new_password';

Substitute the word your_new_password with a new secure password that you want to use for the root account.

The mysql_native_password method is a traditional method of authentication and will allow you to login.

Step 5: Flush the privileges, which tells the server to refresh the grant tables and apply your changes, with this command:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
SELECT user, plugin
FROM mysql.user

Step 7: Exit the console by pressing CTRL + D or typing exit.

exit;

Step 8: Log in to mysql using the root account and the new password you set, which should work:

mysql -u root -p

You should now be logged in to the root account in mysql.

If the above solution did not work, you may need to edit the mysql.cnf file to allow for changes to the root account.

Step 1: Open the my.cnf file. This may be stored in:

/etc/my.cnf
/etc/mysql/my.cnf

If you’re not sure where it is, search your MySQL installation folder (e.g. on Windows or Mac) for the file.

If you don’t have a my.cnf file (MacOS does not include one by default). You can create one in the /etc folder if you like.

[mysqld]
skip-grant-tables

Step 3: Restart the MySQL server.

Step 4: Login to the root account:

mysql -u root -p

Step 5: Flush the privileges, which tells the server to refresh the grant tables and apply your changes, with this command:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Step 6: Set a new password for the account:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_new_password';

Substitute the word your_new_password with a new secure password that you want to use for the root account.

Step 7: Open the my.cnf file you opened in step 1, and remove the line about skip-grant-tables, and save the file.

Step 8: Restart the MySQL server again.

Step 9: Log in to the root account again:

mysql -u root -p

You should now be able to log in successfully with your new password and not get an error.

Conclusion

If you have any questions, feel free to use the comments section below.


Using this guide, you will discover three methods of resolving this error.”

The best way to understand this error is to break it down into single components. This error occurs when you attempt to login into your MySQL instance on your local machine, hence ‘localhost.’

An example is as shown:

6.2.17 Troubleshooting Problems Connecting to MySQL

  1. ERROR 1045 (28000) – refers to the ERROR CODE and SQLSTATE, respectively. For example, in MySQL and MariaDB, the error code 1045 means access denied for that username with the specified password.
  2. The second is the message string. The error message follows the format: Access denied for user ‘%s’@’%s’ (using password: %s).

Solution 1: Sudo Into MySQL

The first and most common method to resolve this error is to sudo into your MySQL instance and set the auth_plugin to mysql_native_password.

Open your terminal and run:

Enter the password for the account and proceed.

Next, change the auth_plugin and set a new password for the root account as shown:

Changing the authentication plugin will allow you to log in to your server.

Next, flush the privileges to update the grant tables:

Finally, exit the terminal and attempt your login:

If the error persists, you may need to edit the MySQL configuration file. In most cases, it is under the name my.cnf in the /etc or /etc/mysql directories.

If the file does not exist, create it.

Close and save the file.

Next, restart the MySQL server and log in.

$ sudo service mysql restart

$ mysql -u root -p

Once logged in, flush the privileges and set a new password:

Ensure to replace the command above with a secure password.

Once completed, edit my.cnf file and remove the entry we added earlier.

Restart the MySQL server and log in with your new password.

Solution 3 – Start MySQL in Safe Mode

MySQL provides you with the mysqld_safe utility for starting the MySQL server. This utility allows us to specify safe features when starting and restarting the server for diagnosing errors.

Start by stopping the MySQL Server.

$ sudo service mysql stop

Next, start MySQL with no authentication as;

$ mysqld_safe —skip-grant-tables &amp;

The command will start the server in the background as a job.

6.2.17 Troubleshooting Problems Connecting to MySQL

Once the daemon is running (with authentication disabled), open a new terminal and run:

The command above should allow you to log in without a password.

Once logged in, flush the privileges and set a new password as:

Close the session and restart MySQL.

Now log in to your server with your new password.

In this article, we covered three main methods of resolving the

We hope this tutorial helped you resolve this error.

I just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS on a new machine. I logged into MySQL as root:

david@server1:~$ mysql -u root -p123

I created a new user called repl. I left host blank, so the new user can may have access from any location.

mysql> CREATE USER 'repl' IDENTIFIED BY '123';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

I checked the user table to verify the new user repl was properly created.

mysql> select host, user, password from mysql.user;
+-----------+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| host      | user             | password                                  |
+-----------+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| localhost | root             | *23AE809DDACAF96AF0FD78ED04B6A265E05AA257 |
| server1   | root             | *23AE809DDACAF96AF0FD78ED04B6A265E05AA257 |
| 127.0.0.1 | root             | *23AE809DDACAF96AF0FD78ED04B6A265E05AA257 |
| ::1       | root             | *23AE809DDACAF96AF0FD78ED04B6A265E05AA257 |
| localhost |                  |                                           |
| server1   |                  |                                           |

| %         | repl             | *23AE809DDACAF96AF0FD78ED04B6A265E05AA257 |
+-----------+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)

I then exit, try to login as user repl, but access is denied.

david@server1:~$ mysql -u repl -p123
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'repl'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
david@server1:~$ mysql -urepl -p123
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'repl'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
david@server1:~$ 

Why is access denied?

The reason you could not login as repl@'%' has to do with MySQL’s user authentication protocol. It does not cover patterns of users as one would believe.

Look at how you tried to logged in

mysql -u repl -p123

Since you did not specify an IP address, mysql assumes host is localhost and tries to connect via the socket file. This is why the error message says Access denied for user 'repl'@'localhost' (using password: YES).

One would think repl@'%' would allow repl@localhost. According to how MySQL perform user authentication, that will simply never happen. Would doing this help ?

mysql -u repl -p123 -h127.0.0.1

Believe it or not, mysql would attempt repl@localhost again. Why? The mysql client sees 127.0.0.1 and tries the socket file again.

Try it like this:

mysql -u repl -p123 -h127.0.0.1 --protocol=tcp

This would force the mysql client to user the TCP/IP protocol explicitly. It would then have no choice but to user repl@'%'.

You should issue for localhost specific to it.

  GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'repl'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '123';

And try connecting.

The problem is these two accounts, added by default.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/default-privileges.html

+-----------+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| host      | user             | password                                  |
+-----------+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| localhost |                  |                                           |
| server1   |                  |                                           |
+-----------+------------------+-------------------------------------------+

A blank user name is a wildcard, so no matter what account you use, it matches this user if MySQL thinks you’re connecting from localhost or your local server name (server1 in this case)… since they have no password, any password you try is wrong. User authentication only tries the first match, so the user you created never gets noticed when your host is localhost (or your server name).

Delete these two from the mysql.user table and then FLUSH PRIVILEGES;.

Or, the mysql_secure_installation script can do this for you, although I tend to prefer doing things manually.

Database may not be configured yet just issue a no-arg call:

mysql <enter>

Server version: xxx

Copyright (c) xxx

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

Mysql [(none)]> 

If Mysql must be set a root password, you can use

Make sure that all fields in the connector are set up with the correct details

host = «localhost»,
user = «CorrectUser»,
passwd = «coRrectPasswd»,
database = «CorreCTDB»

Check for upper and lowercase errors as well — 1045 is not a Syntax error, but has to do with incorrect details in the connector

This could be an issue with corruption of your mysql database. Tables inside mysql database like user table can get corrupt and may cause issued.

Please do a check on those

myisamchk /var/lib/mysql/mysql/ *.MYI

Usually while checking or fixing myisam tables we would like to take mysql down first. If this problem is still not solve please try this out aswell.

If they are corrupt then you can fix them using

myisamchk —silent —force —fast /path/table-name.MYI

Причина возникновения ошибки 1045

Как ни банально, но единственная причина это неправильная комбинация пользователя и пароля. Обратите внимание, речь идет о комбинации пользователь и пароль, а не имя пользователя и пароль. Это очень важный момент, так как в MySQL пользователь характеризуется двумя параметрами: именем и хостом, с которого он может обращаться. Синтаксически записывается как ‘имя пользователя’@’имя хоста’.

Таким образом, причина возникновения MySQL error 1045 — неправильная комбинация трех параметров: имени пользователя, хоста и пароля.

В качестве имени хоста могут выступать ip адреса, доменные имена, ключевые слова (например, localhost для обозначения локальной машины) и групповые символы (например, % для обозначения любого компьютера кроме локального). Подробный синтаксис смотрите в документации

Замечание: Важно понимать, что в базе не существует просто пользователя с заданным именем (например, root), а существует или пользователь с именем root, имеющий право подключаться с заданного хоста (например, root@localhost) или даже несколько разных пользователей с именем root (root@127.0.0.1, root@webew.ru, root@’мой домашний ip’ и т.д.) каждый со своим паролем и правами.

Примеры.
1) Если вы не указали в явном виде имя хоста

GRANT ALL ON publications.* TO ‘ODBC’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘newpass’;

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘ODBC’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

2) Другой первопричиной ошибки mysql 1045 может быть неправильное использование кавычек.

CREATE USER ‘new_user@localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘mypass’; — будет создан пользователь ‘new_user@localhost’@’%’

3) Неочевидный вариант. IP адрес 127.0.0.1 в имени хоста соответствует ключевому слову localhost. С одной стороны, root@localhost и ‘root’@’127.0.0.1’ это синонимы, с другой, можно создать двух пользователей с разными паролями. И при подключении будет выбран тот, который распологается в таблице привелегий (mysql.user) раньше.

4) Аккаунт с пустым именем пользователя трактуется сервером MySQL как анонимный, т.е. позволяет подключаться пользователю с произвольным именем или без указания имени.
Например, вы создали пользователя »@localhost с пустым паролем, чтобы каждый мог подключиться к базе. Однако, если при подключении вы укажите пароль отличный от пустого, то получите ошибку 1045. Как говорилось ранее, нужно совпадение трех параметров: имени пользователя, хоста и пароля, а пароль в данном случае не совпадает с тем, что в базе.

Что делать?

Во-первых, нужно убедиться, что вы используете правильные имя пользователя и пароль. Для этого нужно подключиться к MySQL с правами администратора (если ошибка 1045 не дает такой возможности, то нужно перезапустить сервер MySQL в режиме —skip-grant-tables), посмотреть содержимое таблицы user служебной базы mysql, в которой хранится информация о пользователях, и при необходимости отредактировать её.

SELECT user,host,password FROM mysql.user;
+—————+——————+——————————————-+
| user          | host            | password                                  |
+—————+——————+——————————————-+
| root          | house-f26710394 | *81F5E21E35407D884A6CD4A731AEBFB6AF209E1B |
| aa            | localhost       | *196BDEDE2AE4F84CA44C47D54D78478C7E2BD7B7 |
| test          | localhost       |                                           |
| new_user      | %               |                                           |
|               | %               | *D7D6F58029EDE62070BA204436DE23AC54D8BD8A |
| new@localhost | %               | *ADD102DFD6933E93BCAD95E311360EC45494AA6E |
| root          | localhost       | *81F5E21E35407D884A6CD4A731AEBFB6AF209E1B |
+—————+——————+——————————————-+

Если изначально была ошибка:

  • значит вы указывали при подключении неверный пароль, так как пользователь root@localhost существует. Сам пароль храниться в зашифрованном виде и его нельзя узнать, можно лишь задать новый
  • в данном случае в таблице привилегий отсутствует пользователь ‘ODBC’@’localhost’. Его нужно создать, используя команды GRANT, CREATE USER и SET PASSWORD.

Экзотический пример. Устанавливаете новый пароль для root@localhost в режиме —skip-grant-tables, однако после перезагрузки сервера по прежнему возникает ошибка при подключении через консольный клиент:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)
Оказалось, что было установлено два сервера MySQL, настроенных на один порт.

Phpmyadmin

При открытии в браузере phpmyadmin получаете сообщение:

Error
MySQL said:

#1045 — Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

Ни логина, ни пароля вы не вводили, да и пхпадмин их нигде требовал, сразу выдавая сообщение об ошибке. Причина в том, что данные для авторизации берутся из конфигурационного файла config.inc.php Необходимо заменить в нем строчки

$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘user’] = ‘root’;      // MySQL user
$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘password’] = »;      // MySQL password (only needed

$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘user’] = ‘ЛОГИН’;      
$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘password’] = ‘ПАРОЛЬ’

Установка новой версии

Устанавливаете новую версию MySQL, но в конце при завершении конфигурации выпадает ошибка:

ERROR Nr. 1045
Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO)

Это происходит потому, что ранее у вас стоял MySQL, который вы удалили без сноса самих баз. Если вы не помните старый пароль и вам нужны эти данные, то выполните установку новой версии без смены пароля, а потом смените пароль вручную через режим —skip-grant-tables.

MySQL 1045 error Access Denied triggers in the following cases

1) Connecting to wrong host:

[engineer@percona]# mysql -u root -psekret

mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

If not specifying the host to connect (with -h flag), MySQL client will try to connect to the localhost instance while you may be trying to connect to another host/port instance.

Fix: Double check if you are trying to connect to localhost, or be sure to specify host and port if it’s not localhost:

[engineer@percona]# mysql -u root -psekret -h <IP> -P 3306

2) User does not exist:

[engineer@percona]# mysql -u nonexistant -psekret -h localhost

mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘nonexistant’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

Fix: Double check if the user exists:

mysql> SELECT User FROM mysql.user WHERE User=‘nonexistant’;

Empty set (0.00 sec)

If the user does not exist, create a new user:

mysql> CREATE USER ‘nonexistant’@‘localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘sekret’;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

3) User exists but client host does not have permission to connect:

[engineer@percona]# mysql -u nonexistant -psekret

mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘nonexistant’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

Fix: You can check to see which host user/host MySQL allows connections with the following query:

mysql> SELECT Host, User FROM mysql.user WHERE User=‘nonexistant’;

+————-+————-+

| Host        | User        |

+————-+————-+

| 192.168.0.1 | nonexistant |

+————-+————-+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

If you need to check from which IP the client is connecting, you can use the following Linux commands for server IP:

[engineer@percona]# ip address | grep inet | grep -v inet6

    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

    inet 192.168.0.20/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global dynamic wlp58s0

or for public IP:

[engineer@percona]# dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com

177.128.214.181

You can then create a user with correct Host (client IP), or with ‘%’ (wildcard) to match any possible IP:

mysql> CREATE USER ‘nonexistant’@‘%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘sekret’;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

4) Password is wrong, or the user forgot his password:

[engineer@percona]# mysql -u nonexistant -pforgotten

mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘nonexistant’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

Fix: Check and/or reset password:

You cannot read user passwords in plain text from MySQL as the password hash is used for authentication, but you can compare hash strings with “PASSWORD” function:

mysql> SELECT Host, User, authentication_string, PASSWORD(‘forgotten’) FROM mysql.user WHERE User=‘nonexistant’;  

+————-+————-+——————————————-+——————————————-+

| Host        | User        | authentication_string                     | PASSWORD(‘forgotten’)                     |

+————-+————-+——————————————-+——————————————-+

| 192.168.0.1 | nonexistant | *AF9E01EA8519CE58E3739F4034EFD3D6B4CA6324 | *70F9DD10B4688C7F12E8ED6C26C6ABBD9D9C7A41 |

| %           | nonexistant | *AF9E01EA8519CE58E3739F4034EFD3D6B4CA6324 | *70F9DD10B4688C7F12E8ED6C26C6ABBD9D9C7A41 |

+————-+————-+——————————————-+——————————————-+

2 rows in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

We can see that PASSWORD(‘forgotten’) hash does not match the authentication_string column, which means password string=’forgotten’ is not the correct password to log in. Also, in case the user has multiple hosts (with different password), he may be trying to connect using the password for the wrong host.

In case you need to override the password you can execute the following query:

mysql> set password for ‘nonexistant’@‘%’ = ‘hello$!world’;

Empty set (0.00 sec)

5) Special characters in the password being converted by Bash:

[engineer@percona]# mysql -u nonexistant -phello$!world

mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘nonexistant’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

Fix: Prevent bash from interpreting special characters by wrapping password in single quotes:

[engineer@percona]# mysql -u nonexistant -p’hello$!world’

mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure

...

mysql>

6) SSL is required but the client is not using it:

mysql> create user ‘ssluser’@‘%’ identified by ‘sekret’;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> alter user ‘ssluser’@‘%’ require ssl;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

...

[engineer@percona]# mysql -u ssluser -psekret

mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘ssluser’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

Fix: Adding –ssl-mode flag (–ssl flag is deprecated but can be used too)

[engineer@percona]# mysql -u ssluser -psekret —ssl-mode=REQUIRED

...

mysql>

You can read more in-depth on how to configure SSL in MySQL in the blog post about “Setting up MySQL SSL and Secure Connections” and “SSL in 5.6 and 5.7“.

7) PAM backend not working:

mysql> CREATE USER ‘ap_user’@‘%’ IDENTIFIED WITH auth_pam;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

...

[engineer@percona]# mysql -u ap_user -pap_user_pass

mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘ap_user’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

Fix: Double check user/password is correct for the user to authenticate with the PAM currently being used.

In my example, I am using Linux shadow files for authentication. In order to check if the user exists:

[engineer@percona]# cat /etc/passwd | grep ap_user

ap_user:x:1000:1000::/home/ap_user:/bin/bash

To reset password:

[engineer@percona]# sudo passwd ap_user

Changing password for user ap_user.

New password:

Finally, if you are genuinely locked out and need to circumvent the authentication mechanisms in order to regain access to the database, here are a few simple steps to do so:

  1. Stop the instance
  2. Start the instance
  3. Stop the instance
  4. Edit my.cnf and remove skip-grant-tables and skip-networking
  5. Start MySQL again

From the other cloud services that we have, we knew that this is something to do with the ‘UNIX_SOCKET’ authentication.

We also know that cause as this new machine has been rebuilt a few times, changing the root password OR changing the MariaDB root password has got nothing to do with this.

After logging in to MariaDB, we found nothing on this query:

SELECT plugin from mysql.user where User='root';

We tried the following query:

UPDATE mysql.user SET plugin = 'mysql_native_password',  Password = PASSWORD('new_password') WHERE User = 'root';

We found something interesting configuration on the /etc/mysql/debian.cnf . The password was blank on both client and mysql_upgrade. We put the password for testing purposes.

6.2.17 Troubleshooting Problems Connecting to MySQL

Note: Ensure to double quote within the password. For instance: password = “password”

Restart the MariaDB:

systemctl restart mariadb

Check the MariaDB status:

systemctl status mariadb

The issue has gone.

Note: This may fix the issue, however, we are investigating this approach and we believe it’s not safe to put the password into this file. On the flip side though, the MariaDB root password has to be different anyway from the operating system root.

Change the MariaDB root password:

mysqladmin --user=root --password=currentpassword password "newpassword"

Test the root account.

Open the file – /etc/mysql/debian.cnf

Change the password to a new password.

Note: Ensure to double quote within the password. For instance: password = “password”

Stop MariaDB service:

sudo systemctl stop mariadb

Start the MariaDB service:

sudo systemctl start mariadb

Check the status again:

sudo systemctl status mariadb

Solve Access Denied for User Root Error

To be able to log into MySQL as root, first use sudo to modify the root user:

sudo mysql

Enter your password at the prompt. A MySQL shell loads.

Logging in with MySQL sudo command and its output.

Use the ALTER USER command and change the authentication method to log into MySQL as root:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'insert_password';
Alter user MySQL command output.

This command changes the password for the user root and sets the authentication method to mysql_native_password. This is a traditional method for authentication, and it is not as secure as auth_plugin. In the example above, we set “root” as the password, but we encourage you to set a stronger password.

Test Root User MySQL Access

After you run the commands listed above, exit the MySQL shell by pressing CTRL + D on your keyboard or type exit; and hit enter. There is no need to restart the mysqld service to log in.

Now try again to access MySQL with root. In the terminal, type in:

mysql -u root -p

Enter the password you used with the ALTER USER command. Do not type in the system password to access MySQL as it will not work. If everything worked fine, you should see the MySQL welcome message.

NOTE: The ALTER USER command may not work for MySQL and MariaDB versions older than 5.7.6 and 10.1.20 respectively.
