mysql:

you are getting this error because your script cannot connect to your database with the information you have provided.

Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect to database

Make sure you have the correct username and password, if you are sure you have the correct login and pasword, then you need to check with your administrator because you defenetly have either the wrong login or password and that's why your script cannot connect to your mysql database.

check these four things to make sure you have them right:

1. your hostname (usually is "localhost")
2. your database username (not your hosting username, BUT your mysql)
3. Your database password
4. Your database name

if you still cannot login, contact www.webune.com to reset your password.

is the sql server on your local machine, or on a server on the internet? are you using a class file, or are you just scripting everything by hand?

it just means your username or password is incorrect, try login in with phpmyadmin to test it out

there was a problem connecting to the database server. the following error had occured:

access denied for user 'anand' at 'localhost' (using password: yes)

please verify the connection parameters and try again.

That's great and all, I'm glad someone could read between the lines of code, but as for us newbies...can we get a step-by-step on how to update the password in the database?

wallpaperama:

if you are the root or administrator of the server all you have to do is send this command to set the root password:

mysqladmin -u root password WHATEVER_PASSWORD

NOTE: WHATEVER_PASSWORD is whatever password you want to set for you sql
