It didn't work. I had created the user from cPanel in shared hosting. It did work with:

[client]
user=mysqluser
password=mysqluser-password

as my my.cnf file.

Sorry, I’m here again

I am getting below error when trying to connect to MySQL.

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO) or … YES)

mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables does it works? the procedure as above was going normally, no remarks!

What about the file /etc/mysql/.my.cnf? and the command chmod 0600 .my.cnf?

(Mysql 10.3 / RPI 4 Mod B Buster)

thank you for your help

Okay, we will cross-check this and perhaps update the article. Many thanks for the feedback.
