The plot thickens. I'm actually developing an Java application that uses a MySQL database. First I tried to access the development database using the web interface. Access was denied. Hence the previous post. I think I have that whipped, as I was able to import the production database.
In my development IDE I tried to connect to the development database. No problem before, but now I get:
DAOException java.sql.SQLException: Your password has expired. To log in you must change it using a client that supports expired passwords.
I tried to reset my password the same way as I did the root password, but that did not work. I am still staring at the "Your password has expired".
Could that be caused by importing the production database into the development database?
What can I do to reinitialize (?) the user password?
