java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'root@localhost'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Question

I am connecting Java using Eclipse with MySQL db

CODE

import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;

public class DbDemo {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {

        String s;       
        String uname="root@localhost";
        String url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/student";

        String password="Hsun123";

        int i;

        try {

            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();

            Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(url,uname,password);

            Statement st=con.createStatement();

            ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("select * from student_detail");

            if(rs.next()) {

                i=rs.getInt(1);

                s=rs.getString(2);

                System.out.println(i+"/t"+s);
            }           

            rs.close();

            st.close();

            con.close();

        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

What should I do to resolve my problem?

Answer 1

Instead of using :

 String uname="root@localhost";

Use :

String url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/student";
String userName="root"
String password="Hsun123"
...
try{

        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();

        Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(url,username,password);
...

This should work (provided you are setting the valid password)

Answer 2

If you are connecting a remote mysql server from your local machine using java see the below steps.

Error : java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'xxxxx'@'101.123.163.141' (using password: YES)

for remote access may be cPanel or others grant the remote access for your local ip address.

In the above error message: "101.123.163.141" is the local machine IP. So First we have to give remote access in the cPanel-> Remote MySQL®. Then run your application to connect.

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");  
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(  
    "jdbc:mysql://www.xyz.com/abc","def","ghi");  
//here abc is database name, def is username and ghi        
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();  
ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select * from employee");  
    while(rs.next())  
        System.out.println(rs.getInt(1)+" "+rs.getString(2)+"  
                      "+rs.getString(3));  
con.close();    

Hope it will resolve your issue.

Thanks
