Question

Answer 1

You have to exit and log in again using the new username.

From shell:

mysql --user=user_name --password=your_password db_name

Answer 2

Once you have your new user created, try changing your default shortcut to log in as that user directly instead.

Go to Start Menu > MySql xx Command Line Client > right-clicked > Properties > Target and changed the user (from -uroot ) to -uyournewuser :

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin\mysql.exe" "--defaults-file=C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini" "-uroot" "-p"

Answer 3

When we open MySQL through MySQL console of WampServer it directly logs in as root. So what I did was I logged in through command prompt and it worked. E:\\InstalledFiles\\MySql\\bin\\mysql\\mysql5.5.24\\bin This is where my mysql.exe file is. So I went till bin and gave this command in the command prompt mysql -u root -p . So I could login as root from command prompt.
