In case you use FabForce DBDesigner and have had problems connecting to your MySQL server, it could be that your MySQL installation did not encrypt your password correctly. To do so simply start the MySQL console and reset your password.

Run the following command:

SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost = OLD_PASSWORD(”newpassword”);

By issuing this command MySQL will automatically encrypt your password in a compatible format for use with DBDesigner.
