I got a server running MySQL, but "root" user at "localhost" was deleted by mistake. I reinstalled MySQL server.
I loged as user debian-sys-maint and re-created user "root".
Now, I have the following users:
+-----------+------------------+
| host | user |
+-----------+------------------+
| % | root |
| 127.0.0.1 | root |
| srvname | root |
| localhost | debian-sys-maint |
| localhost | root |
+-----------+------------------+
But if I run:
> grant all privileges on *.* to "root"@"localhost" identified by "password";
Got:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Update #1:
Logged as user "root".
