java sql SQLException Access denied for user root localhost using password YES

Question

This is the exception on getConnection():

java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

This is the code:

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection m_connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost","root","root");

Why is this happening and how can I solve this?
