These are superuser accounts that can do anything. The initial root account passwords are empty, so anyone can connect to the MySQL server as root — without a password So change you datasource to pass an empty password: | <user-name>root</user-name> | <password></password> Based on my previous experience with this, i think even this won't work probably because of the way "empty" password is handled. In that case, change the password of the "root" user on the DB server by following the MySQL documentation. After the password is changed, use that password in the -ds.xml file.
