MYSQL Error Code 1045

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.
