Hello everyone.

I created a new user with the grant command and yet, I can't login into
the database I must mention that the user was created but all the
privileges are set to 'N'.

This is what i get trying to login with the new user I created.

"ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'nsac'@'localhost' (using
password: YES)"

Any is appreciated

If you granted privileges to the user for one database, the user's row
in the mysql.user table will have all 'N' values, but there will also be
a row for that user for a particular database in the mysql.db table,
with 'Y' values for privileges you chose to grant to that user.

In other words, this command:

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'nsac'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

results in a row in the mysql.user table with 'Y' values.
However, a different command:

GRANT ALL ON mydatabase.* TO 'nsac'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

results in a row in the mysql.user table with 'N' values, and a row in
the mysql.db table with 'Y' values. In this case, the user has 'N'
privileges by default, except for having 'Y' privileges on the one
database "mydatabase".
