MySQL Bugs: #12341: Access Denied when accessing Query Browser

Bug #12341	Access Denied when accessing Query Browser
Submitted:	3 Aug 2005 9:26	Modified:	23 Aug 2005 11:24

Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None

Version:	1.1.13	OS:	Windows (Windows XP SP2)
Assigned to:	Vladimir Kolesnikov	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
- MySQL Administrator 1.1.0-rc1
- MySQL Query Browser 1.1.13

The strange thing that is happening right now is that I cannot access Query Browser from the Administrator, no matter the way I choose. Either by going to "Tools -> MySql Query Browser", either by choosing a schemata, then a table, right-clicking and selecting "Edit table data".

They both return "Could not connect to specified host. MySQL Error Number 1045. Access Denied for 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"

First of all, I haven't even set a password for 'root'.
Second of all, if I access MySQL Query Browser from the MySQL System Tray Monitor, everything works just fine (I can use Query Browser).

How to repeat:
Open MySQL Administrator, and either click on "Tools -> MySql Query Browser", either by choosing a schemata, then a table, right-clicking and selecting "Edit table data".

There's actually a problem with the Query Browser, and not with the Administrator (hence changed Category from "Query Browser" to "Administrator").

Since the first post, I moved back to Query Browser 1.1.6 (my previous version), and it works again. I strongly suggest that developers compare what has changed during these two versions.
