After using HeidiSQL for 3 years to access my database, and inserting records as recently as 10 days ago, I am now unable to connect. I get the error: "Access denied for user 'xxxx' (using password: YES)"

Thanks for submitting a question about difficulties connecting to your MySQL database. The error you submitted indicates a bad password.  Perhaps the password was changed, or it's a temporary glitch, and I would recommend restarting the program. Otherwise, your best bet would be to contact our Live Support team so they can troubleshooting the issue with you.
