C.5.2.15. `Ignoring user`

If you get the following error, it means that when mysqld was started or when it reloaded the grant tables, it found an account in the user table that had an invalid password.

Found wrong password for user 'some_user'@'some_host'; ignoring user

As a result, the account is simply ignored by the permission system.

The following list indicates possible causes of and fixes for this problem:

You may be running a new version of mysqld with an old user table. You can check this by executing mysqlshow mysql user to see whether the Password column is shorter than 16 characters. If so, you can correct this condition by running the scripts/add_long_password script.
The account has an old password (eight characters long). Update the account in the user table to have a new password.
You have specified a password in the user table without using the PASSWORD() function. Use mysql to update the account in the user table with a new password, making sure to use the PASSWORD() function:
```
mysql> UPDATE user SET
                    Password=PASSWORD('newpwd')    -> WHERE User='some_user' AND
                    Host='some_host';
```
