Read the error message:

Error: 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

The username or password is incorrect, or you are accessing the wrong DB.

We can't fix that!

Try logging in via whatever management app you used to create the DB, then compare that login data with the actual string you use to try and log in.

I have ensured that the password is correct and database also exists.

MySql disagrees with you! :laugh:

Seriously, log in via your management software and compare exactly what strings are used using the debugger - we can do nothing for you because we have no access to your system.

Can you say me the steps to do that? Alongwith the code and statements to be used.

No, because we have no access to your system!

Code won;t help, because you need to find out why your current connection string doesn't work, and we can't help you with that.
