MySQL Error: "Access Denied for User 'root'@'localhost' (Using Password: NO)
Problem:
When attempting to reset the password for the MySQL root user, the following error occurs:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
Resolution:
This error indicates that the password for the root user is stored as a hash in the MySQL database, and the provided password does not match the stored hash. To resolve this issue, use the following steps:
$ mysqladmin -u root -p password
Then, enter the current password for the root user. If you don't remember the current password, or if MySQL was installed without a root password, you can set it to anything at this step.
Next, enter the new password for the root user twice to confirm it. The password should be enclosed in single quotes:
New password: 'new_password' Confirm new password: 'new_password'
