Access Denied for User ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) – No Privileges?

Use the instructions for resetting the root password – but instead of resetting the root password, we’ll going to forcefully INSERT a record into the mysql.user table

In the init file, use this instead

INSERT INTO mysql.user (Host, User, Password) VALUES ('%', 'root', password('YOURPASSWORD'));
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
