Re: Connect to MySQL 8 from Workbench

[Philip Snylder]

Hello, I am new to mysql and when i install and start to lunch the program, this error message show, can someone please help me solve this problem.

Cannot Connect to Database Server

Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' to the MySQL server at 127.0.0.1:3306:
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Please:
1 Check that MySQL is running on address 127.0.0.1
2 Check that MySQL is reachable on port 3306 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed)
3 Check the user root has rights to connect to 127.0.0.1 from your address (MySQL rights define what clients can connect to the server and from which machines)
4 Make sure you are both providing a password if needed and using the correct password for 127.0.0.1 connecting from the host address you're connecting from

Hope to get prompt response
