Make sure to run ALTER USER IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'your-password-here' and restart mysql for the changes to be applied.
#Mac access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' update#
You are on a version that does indeed use an updated authentication process, some versions of PHP have a problem with this - update your my.cnf (or create a new one) to fix the issue - see below for details. Check each location to see if one already exists. Thanks /u/smolanemone - you can run mysql -help | grep cnf to see the various locations where you can place the my.cnf file. | CREATE ROLE, DROP ROLE ON *.* TO WITH GRANT | | ALTER ROUTINE, CREATE USER, EVENT, TRIGGER, CREATE TABLESPACE, | | SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT, CREATE VIEW, SHOW VIEW, CREATE ROUTINE, | | SUPER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES, EXECUTE, REPLICATION | | SHUTDOWN, PROCESS, FILE, REFERENCES, INDEX, ALTER, SHOW DATABASES, | | GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, RELOAD, | | localhost | root | mysql_native_password | # -Īfter updating your config file run ALTER USER IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password' and restart mysql.Ĥ - If your still having issues send through the results of the following queries mysql> select host, user, plugin from er where = 'root' ĭefault-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password # Some libraries not compatible with latest authentication scheme as per the SO article. You can revert to classic authentication by adding the following entry into your my.cnf All rights reserved.ģ - Later versions of mysql implement a newer authentication scheme, not all libraries are up to date with this. Commands end with or \g.Ĭopyright (c) 2000, 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. Following this documentation to the letter gets you nowhere at all.There could be any number of reasons, we'll need a bit more information to help you out.ġ - Did you use brew, mysql installer, or some XAMP package?Ģ - When you log into mysql what version do you see? For instance when i run mysql -uroot -p I get: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. It should also be noted that the official MySQL documentation for 5.7 never mentions this. SET authentication_string=PASSWORD(''), plugin='' The only way I was able to get this to work was to run this: UPDATE er As far as I can tell this plugin verifies that you are also root on the host account (so you have to sudo mysql -u root). This is because MySQL never actually uses those values for root authentication, it uses a plugin. I want to add that for MySQL 5.7 simply changing the authentication_string column doesn’t work. Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -no-defaults -u root -proot -h localhost I was having a similar issue trying to access MAMP’s MySQL through the terminal on Mountain Lion.

On Mac OSX 10.9 Mavericks I used the ‘rver’ script in the support-files directory instead of the mysqld_safe and service script. Change your update statement accordingly. After which it became authentication_string.
#Mac access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' password#
Note1: password is the column name in table er prior to version 5.7. Now kill the mysqld_safe process and restart mysqld normally: $ sudo service mysqld start

Mysql> UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD('YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD_HERE') WHERE user = 'root' Open another terminal and open a mysql session to execute this: $ mysql

Start a mysql deamon with this option: $ sudo mysqld_safe -skip-grant-tables Maybe updating the package the updater overwrote the root password. MYSQL is running in my system preferences. When i enter mysql or mysql -u root -p it gives me this:ĮRROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user (using password: YES)ĮRROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user (using password: NO) $ alias mysqladmin=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin

$ sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start I plan on using this for Python, on my other computer I only use MYSQL (no MAMP) and I prefer to keep it that way. So far I’ve been able to get it installed but I cannot get my root user access (or any user for that matter).
#Mac access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' pro#
I just got a new macbook pro (OS X 10.8.2) and am attempting to get mysql set up on it.
