Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

[Karen Goh]

I am using root@localhost to log in to MySQL workbench.

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin>mysql -u root -p
Enter password: *******
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 11
Server version: 8.0.23 MySQL Community Server - GPL


So, I presumed that if I set up the connections in my Eclipse IDE with the root@localhost and same password it should work. It doesn't as I get the below error :

Hope someone can advise me what should I do in order to make Eclipse accept the connections.

Thanks.
