Hi,
I really did not know where to post, I hope I chose the right location.
As the title says I'm trying to enable admin/root access, I tried to follow this GoDaddy help page:
https://uk.godaddy.com/help/enable-adminroot-access-managed-or-fully-managed-12270
The problem is that I cannot see anywhere any of the controls pointed out in the article
I cannot find where "My Servers" is and consequentially I cannot do all the rest.
Any video or article covering this seems to show the old user interface of Godaddy website.
I hope somebody can help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi JHasselbring,
Thanks for the quick response.
I have: Hosting - Web - Economy - Linux cPanel.
I hope that is what you meant to ask me.
Thanks again for the support.
I see, that surely explains a lot. What I'm actually trying to do is connecting to a database remotely (using MySql workbench). When I try to connect with a user I created it says that the access was denied for the user.
So I read that I should grant full access to the user from phpMyAdmin by running the following statement:
grant all privileges on DATABASE_NAME.* to USERNAME@localhost identified by 'PASSWORD';
However, I get an error message saying that:
Access denied for user 'someWeirdUsername'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Can I actually connect remotely to MySql database with my current hosting plan?
Thanks again for your time.
Odd, It should've worked. This is a dumb question but, did you actually input your username and password instead of USERNAME and PASSWORD?
Also, instead of having to select the database by code, have you tried going inside the database first before running the command?
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Try this code instead
Replace root with your actual database user credentials.
the % will allow you to connect to your database using any password.
BTW, I remember it being really hard to do this and connecting remotely was slow and sporadic.
Hi,
I just saw your answer and tried it.
Well, you officially solved my problem, it works just fine now.
Just for who's reading in the future what I did was going to the CPanel->Databases->RemoveMySql
Then, in the Add Access Host text box, I wrote "%" and clicked on Add Host.
When entering my credentials in MySql workbench it worked right away.
Thank you so much.
