I know this is an old question on lots of forums with answers suggesting to do flush privileges and reset passwords but in my case no answer has worked.
Here’s the scenario:
I am able to connect to mysql via following command mysql -u root -p -hlocalhost
I am also able to connect via python using following script
import MySQLdb
Con = MySQLdb.Connect(host="127.0.0.1", port=3306, user="root", passwd="mypass", db="mydb")
Cursor = Con.cursor()
sql = "SELECT * FROM test"
Cursor.execute(sql) #### gives 1L
But I am unable to connect via Django Django settings.py contains
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'mydb',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWD': 'mypass',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '3306',
}
}
Following is the main error django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1045, “Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO)”)
Please suggest.

Check your database for permissions, log into MySQL and run
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
alter ‘PASSWD’: ‘mypass’ to ‘PASSWORD’: ‘mypass’,
