So what i have to do? Make new database called "theforgottenserver" or what?

no, i'm not talking about creating a new database.
i said the account/password defaults are different in config.lua (they don't exist by default in mysql)
if you do want to create the new user account, you can click "user accounts" (assuming you have phpMyAdmin) and create the account for theforgottenserver, and use that account in config.lua instead of root

in cmd:
Code: 
cd C:\Users\yoozi\Desktop\Global
theforgottenserver.exe

like streamside said, you have to have the exe inside the folder with config.lua, dll files, and the data folder

Code: 
sqlType = "mysql"
sqlHost = "127.0.0.1"
sqlPort = 3306
sqlUser = "root"
sqlPass = "18039173362663"
sqlDatabase = "ots"

You sure this is what you have? And you get that error in the console? Saying "forgottenserver@localhost"? In such case your server isn't loading the same config.lua as you're editing. You should be editing the config.lua which is in the same folder as the .exe

Well it's clear your server isn't loading those settings you showed me. In config.lua you have set "sqlHost" as "root", but the error is assuming the "sqlHost" would be "forgottenserver". Hence, I come to the conclusion your server is including the wrong config.lua. It could be that running server with cmd is causing the paths to be inconsistent. I tried to run my own server using cmd, but it loaded everything fine, so I don't really know.

since you did not make a new database account, the account and password for your database in config.lua should be:
user: "root"
pass: ""
by default, tfs has "theforgottenserver" as the username and "" for the password, which is invalid since you haven't created that account in your database.

Close your config.lua and go to your server folder and open it again. It might be you're saving it to the wrong directory (if you were editing it elsewhere and then moved it into the folder or so).
