Mysql在console / phpmyadmin上显示错误：错误1044（42000）：用户'root'@'localhost'对数据库'test123'的访问被拒绝

Question

Not able to create,drop database from phpmyadmin or mysql command line. It showing error:

  "ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' to database 'test123'"

After googling i found that to grant the permission to user using the command:

  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost';
  FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

But it also giving the error as mentioned above.

I have also uninstall and install the mysql and phpmyadmin again in the system but still getting same error's.

Please advice.

mysql>show grants;

 +--------------+
 | Grants for root@localhost                                                         |
 +------------------------------------+
 | GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD    <secret>      |
 | GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `oe_school`.* TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION |
