I am trying to connect to mysql local instance 3306 through mysql workbench but am getting the following error:
If you are unable to view the image it states:Your connection attempt failed for user " to the mysql server at localhost: 3306:Access denied for user '[local]'@'localhost' (using password: NO)Please...
There have been similar questions posed on this forum but not for this operating system that I can find. Also, most errors were for user 'root' which this does not reference. I am able to log on to mysql through the terminal with root access.
I am unfamiliar with database administration. I wonder if this is a problem unique to linux? I previously used mysql on mac and windows without issue.
I am using Ubuntu 24.04 and mysql Ver 8.0.39 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL).
Thank you.
I tried searching for answers on this forum and google searches but am still unsure what to do because I cannot find up to date information on this topic.
