How to Fix: Access Denied for User ‘root’@’localhost’ Error on MySQL
MySQL is an open source database management system based on the SQL language. MySQL comes with the XAMPP control panel, which is also an open source and freely usable application. Recently, however, many reports have been received from users who cannot access their “MySQL” database via their browser and the error “Access Denied for Use’root’ @’localhost'” is displayed.
The reason for this problem is that you do not grant global permissions to the user. So, once you have given the user global permissions for the selection, the problem will be fixed.
