java program works for MySQL on Windows, but not Linux

[william fu]

I have a simple Java program that opens a connection to MySQL server and close the connection. It works fine on the Windows MySQL. However, when I migrate my program to the Linux machine. I always get the following message:

SQLException:
SQLState: 28000
Message: Access denied for user '[e-mail]' (Using password: YES)
Vendor: 1045

Does anyone have the similar experience when run your program on a Linux MySQL? Attached is the simple program. Please drop me few lines.
