SQLAlchemy connection issue (1045, "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'")

[jm9azuma]

Describe the bug:
I have installed sqlmap and trying to use it to do the penetration testing to mysql database which under the Docker. But I got failed after running below script.

Reproduce the error:

1. Under the folder sqlmap-dev
2. Execute the script "python sqlmap.py -d "mysql://root:12345678@localhost:3306/testingdb" -f --banner --dbs --users"
3. Error Message: [CRITICAL] SQLAlchemy connection issue ('OperationalError: (MySQLdb.OperationalError) (1045, "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)")')

Tried
(1) Allow the port 3306 in firewall
(2) Used computer hostname, IP address (i.e.: 127.0.0.1) instead of localhost

Screenshots

• Installation method: git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/sqlmapproject/sqlmap.git sqlmap-dev
