Error code 1045
Access denied for user ' root ' @ ' localhost ' (using Password:yes)

The workaround is to reset the root user password by following the steps in the Windows platform:
1. Log in to the system as a system administrator;
2. If the MySQL server is running, stop it.
If the server is running as a Windows service, go to Service Manager: Start menu, Control Panel, management tools, services
If the server is not running as a service, you might need to use Task Manager to force it to stop.
3. Create 1 text files and place the following commands in a single line:
SET PASSWORD for ' root ' @ ' localhost ' = PASSWORD (' Mynewpassword ');
Save the file with any name. In this case, the file is C:\mysql-init.txt.
4. Enter DOS command prompt: Start menu, run-cmd
Assume that you have installed MySQL to C:\mysql. If you installed MySQL in a different location, please adjust the following commands accordingly.
At the DOS command prompt, execute the command:
C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt--init-file=c:\mysql-init.txt
When the server starts, change the root user password by executing the contents of the file named by the "--init-file" option (function: Read the SQL command from the specified file at startup). When the server starts successfully, you should remove C:\mysql-init.txt.
5. Stop the MySQL server and restart it in normal mode. If you are running the server as a service, you should start it from the Windows Services window. If you start the server manually, you can use the command as you normally would.
You should be able to connect using the new password.
