Access mySql via Workbench fails

Discussion in 'Databases' started by edkaufmann, Dec 13, 2011.

  1. .. it's probably to long .. after setting up a new PC I'm having problems to acces my MySql DB! All is Ok with the MSSql DB!

    Whatever I do it says:

    access denied 'root'@tpaddress (using PW: YES)

    I 'know' that I 'never' changed my PW and I'm using the same also for MSSql! Port 3306 is used!

    All I can figure out in CP are:
    DB Name, server and user

    PS: the last time I accessed my DB via Workbench was in March; did anything change?
    thanks for your help

  3. I must have a blackout! to LOGIN I use:
    'my01.Winhost.com' and 'mysql_17541_asgb' as schema

    and get below error msg (IP address is my address).

    error:
    Connecting to MySQL server my01.Winhost.com...
    Access denied for user 'root'@'109.8.69.39' (using password: YES)

    thanks again

    You are using the MySQL login 'root'. You cannot use this login because this is the systems administrator login with MySQL. Log into your control panel and go to the MySQL Manager in your Site Account Manager and review your database user name.
