MySQL login password should be lowercase (UT-Arlington)
I've been trying to use MySQL which is available to engineering students at my school, but I had a problem in log-in although I followed the instruction sent in an e-mail after registration (link for registration direction).
- Phenomena: can't log in with the designated password (initial password for NetID. NOT the current one)
NOTE: %user% is your user account name.
- Solution: use first 8 characters of initial password in lowercase
I'm not sure whether this specification comes from MySQL or from our school's maintenance section. Regardless, the direction I got from our school does not say anything about lowercase...
Adding to MySQL on a host omega, it might shut the port 3306 from other domains. So you may be only able to access from omega.
- Phenomena: can't log in with the designated password (initial password for NetID. NOT the current one)
[%user%@omega ~]$ mysql -u %user% -p
Enter password: (### Here I type in my password)
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user '%user%'@'localhost'
(using password: YES)
NOTE: %user% is your user account name.
- Solution: use first 8 characters of initial password in lowercase
