Access denied for user 'myUser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Question

Does that (using password: YES) means password is not matching ?

I am getting this error even I , as root user, has granted privileges to all the databases to the user !

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'prashant'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'some_secure_password' WITH GRANT OPTION

Also, phpmyadmin shows GRANT = NO in the privileges table for the specified user.

I would like to add that there are several databases, some of them, I am able to connect , but some of them fails. Also, I have not added any table specific privilege to the user !

UPDATE

I tried to access those databases with root user n password , still getting the same error :(

Where am I going wrong ?

You're almost certainly giving the wrong password.
