Can't connect sequel pro with mysql


I downloaded and installed mysql community server GPL version 5.7.13 on my Mac OSX El Capitan. Then I downloaded sequel pro. I tried to connect mysql using socket. I used the name localhost and username root and kept the password blank. When I tried to connect every time I got the message in the picture.

I also want to add, when I install mysql for the first time, there is a popup which gives me a cryptic password for the root@localhost. So instead of keeping the password section blank, I tried that password too. But it kept showing me the same message except 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES). What am I doing wrong?


Solution

  • I use Sequel Pro and connect without password to a localhost server via socket, without any problems. The most likely problem is you typed in the wrong root password. You can reset the root password.
