To grant root access from all hosts (except for localhost):
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@"%" IDENTIFIED BY 'topsecret';
To revoke root access from all hosts (except for localhost):
DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User = 'root' AND Host = '%'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
To enable MySQL service to accept connections from all hosts change the following line in file mysql.conf:
bind-address=127.0.0.1
to
bind-address=0.0.0.0
or better just comment out:
#bind-address=127.0.0.1
and restart the MySQL service.
Notes:
*) The percent symbol ("%") in the notation root@"%" means “any host”, but it doesn’t imply localhost. You need to repeat the commands above with root@localhost in order to grant/revoke permissions for localhost.

Thanks it worked, it solved my problem
i also had to add the /etc/my.cnf the following line:
#listen to any IP
bind-address=0.0.0.0
And i also added to myiptables : -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp –destination-port 3306 -j ACCEPT

and sudo service iptables restart

This was a life saver. I was looking for a way to enable remote access from anywhere. But I didn’t find that any where on the internet so I was pretty frustrated.
