java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Question

I'm having troubles with my project , it involves JDBC and Mysql connection .

When I do the following :

private Statement m_statement = null;               // statement 
private Connection m_connection = null;             //  connection

/**
 * Constructor #1 of the Database class
 * @throws ClassNotFoundException
 */
public Database() throws ClassNotFoundException
{
    try
    {
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        MysqlDataSource ds = new MysqlConnectionPoolDataSource();
        ds.setServerName("localhost");
        ds.setPort(3306);
        ds.setUser("root");
        ds.setPassword("");
        this.m_connection = ds.getConnection();
        this.m_statement = this.m_connection.createStatement();
    }

    catch (SQLException s)
    {
        System.out.println("SQL statement is not executed! 2!");
    }

}

When I try to connect with the above code , the connection doesn't work ,here is the stacktrace :

How can I fix it ?

Can you try to use these credentials to log into your mysql db manually? — Tudor

@Ron it seems like you do actually have a password for the root account. Did you just install MySQL or something? Are you on a shared host? — jn1kk

I encounter the same error, this is how I fixed it:

I used DriverManager class like this:

    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    Connection Hello = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://YOUR-URL-HERE", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD");

And that's it. Also, when selecting a table, remenber to put the DB name first, like:

    "DB_NAME.TABLE_NAME".

TO check if mysql has a password, go to the directory where you installed mysql, and in the bin directory try to bring up mysql prompt using

./mysql –u root mysql

If the login goes through without any problem, it means no password is set.
You can use mysqadmin script to set/reset password.

./mysqladmin –u root password "password string"

Looks like you've only just installed mysql. Run mysql_secure_installation. It will prompt you for a root password, among other things.

I had the same problem. You need to set a password for the user. Go to the mysql console .

$ mysqladmin -u root password myFirstpassword

Then change your password in the java program

Either the username/password is wrong or the user is missing privileges to access the schema/table. Grant privileges using

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION
