title: Django OperationalError at / (1045, "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)")
body: <p>Well, it refuses to work with <code>root</code>, but my settings are:</p>
  
  <pre><code>DATABASES = {
      'default': {
          'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
          'NAME': 'stroiset74',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
          'USER': 'stroiset74',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
          'PASSWORD': '*****',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
          'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
          'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Interestingly, <code>manage.py validate</code> and <code>manage.py syncdb</code> still run without errors. </p>
