title: Random error: #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server
body: <p>Ive had mysql up and running for month now. I was using it yesterday, and today I go to login via phpmyadmin and the command line and I suddenly can't. Its as if someone changed my password overnight or something. Im trying to login using the root user. What do I do?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>This is mysql just running on my local laptop for development. The only account on it is the root account, and no caps lock is not on.</p>
