Here is the solution that I got from messing around the system for a day.
I have a Mac Mini which was running Mac OS X Tiger with MAMP server installed. Today the electricity just went out without warning, and my box got shutdown when the MySQL transaction was in progress.
When the server got back up and running a few minutes later, the MAMP MySQL module can’t seem to connect to the MySQL server due to access denied for user ‘root@localhost’.
I couldn’t even change the password or create a new user using Terminal. Tried all the suggestions found on the net, and no luck.
The solution is simple.
Open:
/Applications/MAMP/db/mysql/mysql/user.MYD using TextEdit.app
If your password was ‘root’ then the MD5 encryption is 81F5E21E35407D884A6CD4A731AEBFB6AF209E1B
See if the encrypted password was there. Mine was having an extra ‘+’ after the last ‘B’. Delete the ‘+’ and restart MAMP. Boom! Everything back to normal.
If your password was something else, try using an online MD5 encryption to find out what your MD5 encryption is and compare it againts the one in your user.MYD file.
DON’T FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR FILE(S) BEFORE DOING THIS
When you are doing a software update from the > Software Update menu, the package file will be stored inside your Mac HD/Library/Receipt. But this location stores only the application updates, not the security updates or the OS updates. Where are they?
This is a tricky one.
When you update the OS, the file will be temporarily stored inside your Mac HD/Library/Updates/xxxxxx-xxxx/
Those files will be gone as soon as you restart your Mac to complete the updates.
So, if you need to copy those file, be quick and do that before the OS asking you to restart your Mac to complete the update.

Here is how:
Connect to the shared folder of your choice, enter name and password if it’s asked for, tick the “Remember this password on my keychain”
Navigate to the folder you want to access next time
Make an alias by holding the Option + Command and drag it to your sidebar
Rename the alias if you want to
Next time you want to access the remote drive, just click the shortcut on the sidebar.
