title: Unable to connect to MYSQL on a remote computer
body: <p>I am working on windows and having a remote desktop connection of another machine. I am trying to connect to the mysql running on the remote machine through my MySql workbench, installed on my machine.</p>
  
  <p>When I specify the details to connect to mysql i.e. 
                IP- a.b.c.d
                port-3306
                username=root
                password= </p>
  
  <p>But everytime it shows me an error saying- </p>
  
  <pre><code>   Your connection attempt to connect to user='root'failed from your host to server at a.b.c.d:3306
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it possible that I can connect to mysql on a different machine?</p>
