Setting User Password
I am having a problem getting mysql to recognize my user password. Currently I am doing everything on 'localhost' [CASE]
My root password works; I have access and can create databases as root.
I used MySql Administrator to create a user 'bill' and gave that user a password (billpw) different from root and applied most of the global privileges including 'CREATE'.
I can open mysql with root and rootpw. As well, I can open mysql with user 'bill' and rootpw but NOT with billpw.
[bill@CASE ~]$ mysql -u bill -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'bill'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Even when I open Mysql with bill rootpw, I get the following:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE menagerie;
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'menagerie'
I can CREATE the DATABASE as root.
I have read Section 5.7, “The MySQL Access Privilege System” and nothing seems to apply -- but that could just be newbie ignorance.
Do I have some Linux permission problem related to MySql or have I done something wrong when creating my user ? How can I check for the error?

Random Password Vs. User Created Password For Site Login
Are there any security issues or other concerns that make one preferable? The client is pushing for user created passwords. I'm mapping out the basic functionality and front-end for a MySQL/PHP back-end that will be completed by a third party. I'm a novice to MySQL but familiar with PHP and their interaction. Mainly looking for anything to support one method over the other.

Setting Password
I successfully added MySQL, setup db's and did initial app development. I did all of this under the root user and blank password. When I ported the new development to the web site I tried to setup a user and password for the application and set the root password and ran into a brick wall. I am now locked out MySQL in terminal mode, phpAdmin will not save a config, MySQL GUI Admin will not save passwords and under options it says it cannot locate the /etc/my.cnf file. I have looked at a number of tutorials to set up the my.cnf file and they seem to conflict with one another and have been reticent to take action to make sure I was going in the correct direction. I am using QS10.4, phpAdmin 2.11, MySql 5.05, GUI Tools for 5.0. Can anyone point me the right direction to line up all of the security related files to get control back, successfully run the app on the local environment and and continue development.

Setting Password Problem
i've created my database and now i want to access it through php so im using:mysql_connect('localhost:3306', "username", "password") or die(mysql_error()); but i haven't yet set a password and don't know how to, so when i run the file it comes up with the error mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user.Is this because i need to set a password and username,if so then how? or is it maybe another different problem?

Setting Up The MySQL Password
I can't seem to see the page whan I am trying to set up the 'Setting Up the MySQL Password'. I know this is right at the start but all I get when I type in the Web browser http://127.0.0.1/myadmin is the sourcecode and not the actual log in page... I know it's something silly I have done or not done (I have installed the Apache / MySQL / PHP stuff over and over again, but it still does the same thing to me. The Apache services is running fine. The WinMySQLadmin is on green so I know that's fine. I think it's maybe an explorer thing? but I can't seem to get it.

Setting Root Password
I am using MySQL 4.1 on Win XP.I forgot my root password and I am trying to reset it. I am using the SQLyog GUI to manipulate my DB.I have a guest password stored in SQLyog and can access all of my databases.But I can't use SQLyog to change the password b/c it uses the new password alogorithm which is hashed to 32 characters opposed to 16 in the old alogorithm.I was wondering a way to reset my root password. I only have minimal privileges on this account such as SELECT. Just in case anyone missed it, I can't log into my MySQL command line client since I don't know my root password.I would normally use OLD_PASSWORD('password') from there.

Access Denied For User: 'user@172.22.0.1' (Using Password: YES)
I am currently running two servers one with Tomcat and the other with MySQL. They are both in different Windows domains and on different network segments. I have the following users on the MySQL server: user@localhost user@% I am getting a VERRRY SLOOOW connection between the two machines so I thought I'd add a user just for the Tomcat server. The IP address of the Tomcat server is 172.22.0.1 so naturally the user would be 'user@172.22.0.1' When I added this user I got the following error Access denied for user: 'user@172.22.0.1' (Using password: YES) Any ideas on what I can do to remedy the situation?

Setting Password For MySQL From WAMP?
A few months back I installed WAMP (one big installation of Apache, MySQL and PHP for Windows). The last week I'm busy with Portal development. As a result I'm trying to install Jetspeed-2. The installer of Jetspeed asked what Database I would like to use. As I installed WAMP I thought it wiser to stick to MySQL. When I started phpMyAdmin I saw the following message: "Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account." As it is some time since I installed WAMP I cannot remember what I need to do. I searched the install directory and found that the word password is contained in several .ini files (my-huge.ini, my-innodb-heavy-4G.ini, my-large.ini, my-medium.inim and my-small.ini, but not in my.ini). The format of the line is: #password= your_password I take it I need to remove the # at the start of the line, replace 'your_password' with a password of my choosing? But in what ini file? How does WAMP know what ini file to choose? In the same directory as the ini files I see a wampserver.conf file. In it there is an entry: $mysqlConf['mysqlConfFile'] = 'my.ini'; Does this entry make WAMP to choose for my.ini? I plan to use the WAMP/MySQL installation purely for development purposes.

Strange Password Setting Behavior In Fedora Core 4 (server 4.1.11)
I have tried adding users aided by several references and this typifies the procedure: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/adding-users.html But, I found that after adding them, I could not use them to get into mysql. I found my way to this reference, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/access-denied.html and on a hunch, set the password to '', that is, no password at all and find that now I can use them to get in. What is going wrong here? Also, I am finding that I cannot get into my database from a remote host, even though I use the '%' variable or even more directly, the actual 'RemoteHost' name.

Importing And Setting Up New Database And User
I am having trouble moving a database and website from another host. Do we need to use the same user name and password that was previously setup? We changed the code to use the root and root password, seems some pages work and some are blank. I could not see how to setup a new user? so then we can try and use that to connect. The pages refernce this page main.php that has the following code. <?PHP mysql_connect("localhost", "entaction", "2a3wHTp1"); mysql_select_db("entaction"); $size = 15; ?> This was changed to use the rooot user and password because we could not see how to setup the same user for the database, I was able to import the database fine and shows in the databases? Need help getting this working using: phpMyAdmin - 2.8.1 MySQL client version: 5.0.24 Thank you for any help.

DB User/password Issues
I've looked on google and searched through these forum pages for issues similar to mine only to find no answer to people who have posed a similar question so I'm hoping I catch someone who can help me with this one. My MySQL will only allow me to connect to my DBs through the web if and only if my user password is set to blank. When using MySQL Administrator, I can have my root password set and log into that just fine but when I try to use root -> pw in say my phpmyadmin script, I get access denied errors. BUT, when i change my root password to blank (testing purposes only), the page loads just fine. The same results occur when i create a test user, the test username can only connect if the password is blank. If one is set, I get those access denied errors.

Change The Root User Password
I have just set a password for the root user for logging into MySQL which all works fine by typing: mysql -u root -p A prompt appears asking me for my password which I enter and the usual welcome message appears.I initally set my root user password by typing at command line: mysqladmin -u root password "new password" ("new password" being the password I chose) This all worked ok. However I would like to know how to I change the password for the root user, and how would I also change the password for users that I set up (I assume it would be a similar way)? I am currently running all on my local machine (hence no need to use "-h" anywhere in the login procedure) and running on windows 2000.

Mysql.user.password In Session
I have set up a few users in the mysql Privileges and with my php pages I have them log in with a form (login.php) to access the next page (mainpage1.php) that generates info from the mysql db.I know it is not really secure to just have the plain text password stored as a $_SESSION['pw'] as I have now. but how should I store it in a Session to be used in other pages without the user having to enter it in each time the page wants to go to the db? Or can we store the $Link in a session? or somehow have it remember that the user is connected?as if I sha1() the password how do I get it back into a format that mysql recognizes?What is the best way of doing this?

Can I Set Database User Password When No Root Pw Is Set
I have installed PHPBB MediaWiki and SugarCRM on Ubuntu Server LAMP. I initially tried to set the root password on install and then could not log back in. After reinstall this is what I did for a new non root user. root@invest:~# mysql -V mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.38, for pc-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2 grant CREATE,INSERT,DELETE,UPDATE,SELECT on pauldb.* to paul@localhost; set password for paul = password('mysecretpassword'); flush privileges; exit; Then when i go to login with this user I can't. I have not set a password for root because the same thing happened when I tried to set root pw immediately after install of the database. This time I am trying to work out the access issue with a new user i have created. This way I still have access since and I won't have to reinstall the db.

User Not Needing Password For Login?
I've seen this problem for a while now, but since at the time I only needed 1 MySQL user for development purposes it wasn't a problem. Now, it's problematic. Btw, I have MySQL 5.0.22 installed. I created a user using the following command (I've tried this way and using GRANT): INSERT INTO user VALUES('%','XXXX',PASSWORD('YYYYY'), 'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y', 'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y', '','','','',0,0,0,0); Now, I see that row in the mysql.user table. I see the encrypted password, BUT when I try to log in to mysql from the command prompt using the user that I just created... it NEVER needs the password (YYYYY) that I set it to in the INSERT. >> mysql -uXXXX ^ That command takes me straight to the mysql command prompt. I am wanting the command to have to be 'mysql -uXXXX -p'... and then prompt for the password. Am I missing something?
