I’m encountering an issue while trying to log into MySQL:

C:Usersuser>mysql -u root -p
Enter password: ******
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I can assure you the password is correct, and I was able to log in successfully using the same method yesterday. I’ve already restarted the MySQL service and tried common solutions, but the issue persists.

This is my MySQL version:

C:Usersuser>mysql --version
mysql  Ver 8.0.39 for Win64 on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)

My computer is running on Windows.

Any help would be appreciated!

I hope to be able to log into MySQL successfully, and I want to solve this issue without having to reinstall MySQL.
