Not a good idea. Often causes more problems and fixes nothing.

"Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'" usually means the server is not running.

To see if the server is running, look at the Windows task manager list. If it is not running, to see if the server can run, in a command window from the MySQL bin folder run

mysqld --defaults-file="MYSQL_HOME\my.ini" --console --skip-grant-tables

substituting for MYSQL_HOME the full path to your my.ini. Observe the errors that are reported there and or study mysqld.err, fix what you can, report here what you can't fix.
