    Default I get an error trying to connect to database:java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for

    Greetings!
    I get the following error while compiling my java code:
    java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'root '@'localhost' (using password: YES)
    I have made some research and noticed that this is a common mistake. Unfortunately i didn`t found a solution yet how simply to resolve this matter. I will appreciate any help!

    I use a .properties file with the information about the database.
    Here is my class:
    public static void CreateTable(Connection conn, String url, String driver, String dbName, String userName, String password) {
    			try {
    				Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
    				conn=DriverManager.getConnection(url+dbName, userName, password);
    				try {
    					Statement st=conn.createStatement();
    					String table = "CREATE TABLE Server(name varchar(255), IP varchar(20), OS varchar(255), RAM integer";
    			        st.executeUpdate(table);
    			        System.out.println("Table successfully created");
    				}
    				catch(SQLException e){
    					System.out.println("Table already exists!");
    				}
    				conn.close();
    			}
    			catch(Exception e){
    				e.printStackTrace();
    			}			
    		}

    Since it appears you are using root, you should have permissions to modify the database so make sure your password is correct. In addition, your CREATE TABLE statement is missing an ending parenthesis. Lastly, knowing which line the SQLException is causing the exception (from the stack trace) will shed light on what exactly is causing the exception.

    I have made a change
    The method CreateTable drops out.
    I create the table manually.
    Then when i am executinmg this, the samo error appears:
    public static void AddInfoDB(Connection conn, String driver, String url, String dbName, String userName, String password, String entered_name, String entered_IP, String entered_OS, int entered_RAM){
    			try {
    				Class.forName(driver);
    				conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+dbName,userName,password);
    				try {
    					Statement st = conn.createStatement();
    			        int val = st.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO "+dbName+" VALUES("+entered_name+","+entered_IP+","+entered_OS+","+entered_RAM+")");
    			        System.out.println("Information added");
    				}
    				catch(SQLException e){
    					System.out.println("SQL statement is not executed!");
    				}	
    				conn.close();
    			}
    			catch(Exception e){
    				e.printStackTrace();
    			}
    		}
    And the error:

    Please use the code tags or the highlight=java tags. This way your code is much more readable for others.

    Which line of the ones you posted corresponds to line 1075?

    i have no idea there isn`t line 1075
    I debugged and the exception was thrown after this line:
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+dbName,userName,pa ssword);
    when I click on the error that`s what appears:
    the jat filemysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar has no source attachment
    I don`t know if this could be in any help of you

    Doh, my bad. Still not awake after all that coffee...that should read line 31, see the stack trace
    at MainMethods.AddInfoDB(MainMethods.java:31)

    You didn't give the url. Given the stack trace it looks like you are using mysql, does your url conform to something like this?
    jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/

    the url, driver, dbName, userName, and password are stored in a properties file, i load the values with no problem, while debugging i checked the values and they are just as they are supposed to be
