@Sebastian-Roth Hi Sebastian,

I just connected into my fog server, using RDP from a windows machine.

Once in, I start a terminal session and enter the command “mysql -u root” and immediately get:
ERROR 1045 (28000) : Access denied for user ‘root’@'localhost" using password NO.

If I try using the “sudo -i” and then the mysql -u root, I get the same response.

I’ve also tried using the -p and trying different passwords (or no password) with 0 luck.

@Sebastian-Roth
I appreciate the reply, but I’ve tried everything from that thread, and still get the same error with the root account.

Hi guys,

I’ve been using fog for months without issues. I’ve got a bunch of images saved that I cant lose, otherwise i’d erase and do a fresh install.

Anyway, I decided (I’m not sure why) to install Ubuntu updates a few weeks ago. After installing and rebooting, I got the dreaded “database connection unavailable”. When I originally set up fog and mysql, I left the password blank. Now when I attempt to connect to Mysql using root, I get the root not authorized account.

I’ve tried everything I could find online, and have been working at this since noon today. I’ve tried every “reset root user password” instructions I could find online, and none of them seem to work. I keep getting the “access denied for user root”.

Any suggestions???
