Failed to connect to mysql at 127.0.0.1:3306 with user root access denied for user rootlocalhost(using password:YES).

However, every time I test a connection there is an error message that says.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing my workbench 6.1 and mysql server 5.6 but the error is still unsolved.

I had to reset my root password: But after my databases that i had previously were either dropped or the new connection did not connect to them.

But i could use MySQL again, which was a win for me Questions: Answers: You should install the mysql server which hosts in your localhost.

Ive installed fresh mysql at Ubuntu but I left mysql password empty, and as a result I couldnt connect to mysql in any way.

Lately Ive revealed that there is a table of users where are names, hosts, passwords and some plugins.

So for my user email protected mysql while installing assigned a plugin called authsocket, which let Unix user root log in as a mysql user root without password, but dont allow login as another Unix user.

So to fix that you should turn off this plugin and set usual authentication: open Linux terminal enter sudo mysql you will see mysql which means youve connected to mysql as a root Unix user and you can type SQL queries.

Questions: Answers: I know this is old but I have come across this issue as well but found a fix for this that worked for me: go to Services under Name find your username right click and select Start Go to your MySQL workbench and select Startup Shutdown under INSTANCE and you should be good to go.

Questions: Answers: Here was my solution: press Ctrl Alt Del Task Manager Select the Services Tab Under name, right click on MySql and select Start Tags: mysql, sql.
