Context: I am creating a new Schema and looking to import .sql file generated from mysql dump. I have server running: MySQL 8.0.19.

I am using DBeaver client Version 7.0.2 and have setup a new MySQL 8+ Database connection. However, when I attempt to connect to the DB, I run into the following error: 

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

A root user exist (verified through mysql shell). Here are a few things I have attempted, however, haven't been able to resolve the issue yet:

    Does this answer your question? Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password yes)

  • @Colin'tHart, I'm not op but I tried logging in as root because you can do that in Postgres. I've dabbled with MySQL/MariaDB but I guess I forgot its best to make a new user?

  • @DeltaFlyer Don’t run your program as root if you can run it as a normal non-privileged user.

Create new user with password and full privileges as described here:

CREATE USER 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'the_password_you_wish_here';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'admin'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;

...and login with this user for further usages.
