This seems to stop any user matching. Delete these and users can access if they have only specific database access, or create a user that does not match exactly eg on localhost, then they can access.

I've been banging my head for about an hour to get this working. I have no idea why using % does not allow localhost, but after changing it to be 'localhost', I'm able to connect. And for those asking *how* to change it, I did it by connecting to the 'mysql' database and then running: update user set Host='localhost' where User='myUserName' Wow thanks so much for posting this.

Set it to 'localhost'. Problem solved. The problem is the host shouldn’t be ‘%’.

If the password was blank it might say "No" The “YES” doesn’t mean that you are using the password “Yes” it simply mean “Yes” you are using a password. If the password was blank it might say “No”
