Question

using mysql.exe I enter the command mysql> use mysql; but there is an error:

ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user '' @ 'localhost' to database 'mysql'

• What does this mean?
• How so I can access a mysql database?
• The most important thing is that I want to reset password mysql database, but an error occurs when I enter the command: mysql> use mysql;

Answer 1

thanks all, finally I found this reset root password with wrong mysql config … and it works well for me :)

-Go to your xampp\\mysql\\bin\\ folder
-Edit my.ini and insert skip-grant-tables below [mysqld]
-Restart MySQL
-Set new password for your root user by running UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('new_password') WHERE User='root' in phpMyAdmin in the mysql database (or just leave it like this if MySQL cannot be accessed from remote hosts)
