Enter 127.0. 0.1 for the host. The default username for a new MySQL installation is root, with a blank password. You can leave the port field blank unless your server uses a different port than 3306.
normally means that there is no MySQL server running on the system or that you are using an incorrect Unix socket file name or TCP/IP port number when trying to connect to the server. You should also check that the TCP/IP port you are using has not been blocked by a firewall or port blocking service.
Sounds like you only installed the MySQL Client Tools (MySQL Workbench). You have to install the MySQL Database server, configure and start it.

You probably want the MySQL Community Server download.
