mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '%password%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'IDENTIFIED BY '%password%' WITH GRANT OPTION' at line 1

Read again the manual pages on Create User and Grant. Create the user with an Identified By... clause., then no Identified By... clause with Grant.

Don't use wildcards in passwords.

If you can log into WB, issue there ...

select host,authentication_string,plugin from mysql.user
where user='root';

select user();

... and let's see the result.
