Mysql connection from other computer to xampp server? Error 1045

Question

There is much information about this error but seems nothing works.

So I try to access to xampp mysql-server using the user root from local network.

mysql -uroot -p -h 192.168.100.48 --port=3306 (connecting from other local computer to xampp server)

But even I put right password (which I use for root) it not work. It works only if I log in using same computer where the server is running. I can use other user which I have specified but not root user. Why?

So how to fix this problem and getting it working?

Answer 1

Does the root user have the correct permissions?

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'192.168.1.%'
    IDENTIFIED BY 'some_characters'  
    WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
