flakif what were you doing when you got this error? Was it a command line error?

flakif this isn't a flarum error, it's an issue with your mysql setup.

You are using a wrong password, thats the problem 🤨

Double check your password and try again. The last option is reset mysql root password.

Prosperous yes. my password was wrong
