I am trying to connect to MySQL using Sequel Pro, something that I have done many times before. Host 127.0.0.1, username root, password. I get the following message:
Could not connect to host 127.0.0.1 because access was denied.
Double check your username and password and make sure access is allowed from your current location.
MySQL said: Access is denied for user 'root' @ 'localhost' (using password: NO)
For what it's worth, I received this message after switching to a new Mac OS (Mavericks), I realized that the server was not running, a new server (which is currently working) was loaded, and tried again - but I had the same problem.
