This error message indicates that the root user is being denied access to a database because the password provided is incorrect.
To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:
- Check that the MySQL service is running by typing “sudo service mysql status” in the terminal.
- Verify that you are using the correct username and password combination to connect to your database.
- Ensure that you have granted sufficient privileges to the root user for accessing the database.
- Try resetting your MySQL root password using these commands:
sudo systemctl stop mysql sudo mysqld_safe –skip-grant-tables & sudo mysql -u root FLUSH PRIVILEGES; ALTER USER ‘root’@‘localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘new_password’; exit
- Once you have reset your MySQL root password, restart your MySQL service by typing “sudo service mysql restart” in the terminal.
If none of these solutions work, you may need to reinstall Docker or consult with a developer who has experience with Docker and MySQL troubleshooting.
