I've spent hours on this issue, made sure that I have the correct Mysql database, the version, etc. I downloaded Mysql 5.7 because 8.0 has a particular way of using passwords. I've installed Laravel and Valet. I am using Mysql Workbench because Sequel Pro is not supported anymore. No matter what I do in regards to trying to migrate I am unable to. This is the latest error I received:

Illuminate\Database\QueryException : SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = tutorial and table_name = migrations and table_type = 'BASE TABLE')

I am willing to accept that I am a beginner - however, there is no troubleshooting in terms of correcting this possible error. This is very discouraging. Is there any literature (online, webpages, etc) that would provide basic info regarding these particular issues?
