Re: Failed connection when testing connection to localhost
If you still get the same error that root cannot connect then I'd say something with your setup is broken. Funny enough, I had a similar situation recently because my system crashed to BSOD and after rebooting I could connect with root but had no rights to do anything. So at the end I had start the server with --skip-grant-tables and used an init file to set privileges for root again.
