Installing Wordpress on IIS 7 - invalid root password or failed to connect
Question
I'm 100% sure the user/pass are correct.
Screenshot: MYSQL command Line
Screenshot: WebPlatform Message
i've tried all the suggested workaround but none avail
- deleting mysql_pwd from registry (HKCU/Software/Microsoft/WebPlatformInstaller/mysql_pwd)
- installing latest mysql connector (6.9.9)
the other suggested way is to delete the folder path for mysql on my drive which I dont want to as i have existing data from my current database (MYSQL 5.7)

Have you created a non-root user and tested with it? I would do that anyway for INFOSEC reasons. My two cents: get the site onto a Linux VM. https://roots.io/trellis
