This is a tricky one, I have the following output:
mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect
When attempting to export my database with mysqldump on Windows XP. The username is root, the password is correct and contains only alphanumeric characters. I have tried different cases, with/without quotes, specifying using -u and -p, specifying using --user= and --password= and other methods of specifying user/passwords etc, specifying the host (it's all local) and even specifying the database using --databases instead of just blank. The error is always the same when using a password and always the same except the "NO" message when without. I have tried many fixes found through searches with no success. One fix suggested inspecting mysql.conf, but the Windows build doesn't seem to have one. The credentials (and indeed commandline parameters) work perfectly with mysql.exe - this problem only seems to be affecting mysqldump.exe.

To resolve the error, you must create a user with the following command: mysql> GRANT ALL ON *. * to user_name@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; Replace user_name with the user's username and password with the user's password.
If mysqldump is not identified by the cmd prompt that means it cannot recognize where the mysqldump.exe is located. You need to add path of the directory where the exe is located in the PATH variable under environment variables. After doing that your command will start working in the cmd prompt.
MySQL users often face an issue called Error 1045 (28000) access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: yes). This usually occurs when you enter an incorrect password or password for your database. Fixing these credentials can resolve this error in no time.
This worked for me
mysqldump -u root -p mydbscheme > mydbscheme_dump.sql after issuing the command it asks for a password:
Enter password: entering the password will make the dump file.
