Execute failed: Access denied for user 'sql7765752'@'46.21.188.41' (using password: YES)

Hello everyone,

I’m new to KNIME and I’m trying to connect to a FreeSQLDatabase MySQL server. However, I keep getting the following error:

Access denied for user ‘sql7765752’@‘46.21.188.41’ (using password: YES)

I followed the standard procedure:

• I used sql7.freesqldatabase.com as the hostname.

• I entered the correct username and password.

• I set port 3306 as required.

However, the strange thing is that only I am experiencing this issue. Some of my friends tried the same credentials on the same Wi-Fi, following the same steps, and it worked for them.

Could this be related to a specific setting in my KNIME installation? Or maybe my computer?

Thanks in advance 🥴
