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 '%'
If you have that same problem in MySql 5.7.+ :
Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost'
it's because MySql 5.7 by default allow to connect with socket, which means you just connect with sudo mysql. If you run sql :
SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;
then you will see it :
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
| user | authentication_string | plugin | host |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
| root | | auth_socket | localhost |
| mysql.session | *THISISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDHERE | mysql_native_password | localhost |
| mysql.sys | *THISISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDHERE | mysql_native_password | localhost |
| debian-sys-maint | *497C3D7B50479A812B89CD12EC3EDA6C0CB686F0 | mysql_native_password | localhost |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
To allow connection with root and password, then update the values in the table with command :
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'Current-Root-Password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Then run the select command again and you'll see it has changed :
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
| user | authentication_string | plugin | host |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
| root | *2F2377C1BC54BE827DC8A4EE051CBD57490FB8C6 | mysql_native_password | localhost |
| mysql.session | *THISISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDHERE | mysql_native_password | localhost |
| mysql.sys | *THISISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDHERE | mysql_native_password | localhost |
| debian-sys-maint | *497C3D7B50479A812B89CD12EC3EDA6C0CB686F0 | mysql_native_password | localhost |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
And that's it. You can run this process after running and completing the sudo mysql_secure_installation command.
For mariadb, use
SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'#'localhost' = PASSWORD('manager');
to set password.
More at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/set-password/
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;
It didn't like my user privilege so I SUDO it.
(in bash << sudo set user and password)
(this gives username of root and sets the password to nothing)

I was using ubuntu 18 and simply installed MySQL (password:root) with the following commands.
sudo apt install mysql-server
sudo mysql_secure_installation
When I tried to log in with the normal ubuntu user it was throwing me this issue.
ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost'
But I was able to login to MySQL via the super user. Using the following commands I was able to log in via a normal user.
sudo mysql
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'root';
exit;
Then you should be able to login to Mysql with the normal account.
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.
A simple way to reset root password on Linux systems :
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5
Checkout some other reasons for Access denied :
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/problems-connecting.html
I faced this problem while installing Testlink on Ubuntu server, I followed these steps
mysql -u root
use mysql;
update user set password=PASSWORD("root") where User='root';
flush privileges;
quit
Now stop the instance and start again i.e
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
For my case, I found this error after fresh installation of mysql on Mac OS Big Sur.
What i did to fix it was:
I click on the apple logo, go to system preferences and then click on mysql.
There's an initialize database button on the opened settings window, I click on that, and then when I try to access again, it's solved.
in mysql 5.7 the password field has been replaced with authentication_string so you would do something like this instead
update user set authentication_string=PASSWORD("root") where User='root';
See this link MySQL user DB does not have password columns - Installing MySQL on OSX
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
I resolved the same issue by running Workbench as administrator.
...I guess it's because of restrictions on company computers, in my case...
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
In my case:
I set plugin authentication to "" (empty) and I can't run mysql server:
SOLUTION:
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
edit:
[mysqld]
skip-grant-tables
service mysql restart
mysql -u root
use mysql
UPDATE mysql.user SET plugin = 'mysql_native_password' WHERE User = 'root'
flush privileges
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!
I resolved the same issue using next sql and restarting MySQL server:
update mysql.user set Select_priv='Y',Insert_priv='Y',Update_priv='Y',Delete_priv='Y',Create_priv='Y',Drop_priv='Y',Reload_priv='Y',Shutdown_priv='Y',Process_priv='Y',File_priv='Y',Grant_priv='Y',References_priv='Y',Index_priv='Y',Alter_priv='Y',Show_db_priv='Y',Super_priv='Y',Create_tmp_table_priv='Y',Lock_tables_priv='Y',Execute_priv='Y',Repl_slave_priv='Y',Repl_client_priv='Y',Create_view_priv='Y',Show_view_priv='Y',Create_routine_priv='Y',Alter_routine_priv='Y',Create_user_priv='Y',Event_priv='Y',Trigger_priv='Y',Create_tablespace_priv='Y'
where user='root';
I worked on Access Denied for User 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES) for several hours, I have found following solution,
The answer to this problem was that in the my.cnf located within
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
the line was either
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
(or)
bind-address = localhost
(or)
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
I should prefer that 127.0.0.1
I should also prefer 0.0.0.0, it is more flexible
because which will allow all connections
I don't think you have to escape the --init-file parameter:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqld.exe" --defaults-file="C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.6\\my.ini" --init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt
Should be:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqld.exe" --defaults-file="C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.6\\my.ini" --init-file=C:\mysql-init.txt
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.
With me was the same problem, but it was caused, because i was using the mysql server on 32 (bit) and the workbench was running on 64(bit) version. the server and the workbench need to has the same version.
xpress
I was facing the same problem when I'm trying to connecting Mysql database using the Laravel application.
I would like to recommend please check the password for the user. MySQL password should not have special characters like #, &, etc...
cause might be missing mysqld file in /var/run/mysqld
sudo service mysql stop
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
sudo service mysql start
if file does not exits then create file
mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld
chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld
check now you are able to login mysql -uroot -p123
otherwise do
sudo mysql -u root
use mysql;
show tables;
describe user;
update user set authentication_string=password('1111') where user='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
mysql -uroot -p123
link - mysqld_safe Directory '/var/run/mysqld' for UNIX socket file don't exists
For windows:-
If the instance configuration fails with similar issue and if you cannot log in to the root account.
Steps I followed to fix the issue:-
Stop MySql service if running.
Uninstall MySql using 'remove' option from the installation wizard.
If MySql service is not removed from services,
sc delete <MYSQL_SERVICE_NAME>
Delete all data containing in the MySql folder ('Program files', 'Program data' or the custom installation directory you have given).
Remove MySql path from the environmental variable.
Disable windows firewall.
Reinstall and config root account with new password.
the only thing that worked was sudo mysql followed by adding skip-grant-tables in [mysqld] section of /etc/my.cnf file - Ubuntu Mysql 5.5
alter user 'root'#'localhost' identified with mysql_native_password by '$your_password$';
it worked for me.
note: use strong password
for example
alter user 'root'#'localhost' identified with mysql_native_password by 'root';
Same issue occurred with me also, turned out my db username was wrong
I am now working on a docker project with two docker containers - one for the oracle db and the other with a java application.
The container for oracle db is working ok. I used the already built image for oracle and created my tablespaces and users in it.
Commands I used to pull and use the oracle db container is as given below:
docker pull wnameless/oracle-xe-11g
docker run -d -p 49160:22 -p 49161:1521 -e ORACLE_ALLOW_REMOTE=true wnameless/oracle-xe-11g
Now I have my own Java application that interacts with the oracle db and I run it using the command given below:
docker run -it --name mypgm myrepo/oracletesting
It runs an interactive java program that asks for the Oracle DB details and allows users to interact with the DB.
However I could not figure out how I have to specify details such as
Driver Name, Connection URL, Username, and Password
The values I gave are as given below:
Driver Name: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
Connection URL:jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521:orcl11g
Username: imtheuser
Password: **********
I dont know whats going wrong where but its not working.
I tried giving different inputs for Connection URL after inspecting the docker container ip address as well:
Connection URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:#172.17.0.2:1521:orcl11g
Am I giving the Connection URL and/or the port number correct? Can someone help me out to correctly connect these two containers and to get the project moving?
Thanks for your kind help..
You have to link the containers.
The oracle container should have a name.
try the following:
docker network create my-network # Create a network for containers
docker run -d -p 49160:22 -p 49161:1521 --network my-network --name oracle-db -e ORACLE_ALLOW_REMOTE=true wnameless/oracle-xe-11g
docker run -it --network my-network --name mypgm myrepo/oracletesting
Use as connection url to following string jdbc:oracle:thin:#oracle-db:1521:orcl11g
You can use a domain name in oracle connection string: oracle.dbhost.com, and use a --addhost oracle.dbhost.com:[ip address] when running your app in docker, or configure a dns to resolve the domain name.
