Go to the MySQL Service in Helm:
Home > System Settings > Servers > Your Server > MySQL Service
Make sure the user you have set is root, and enter the correct password for the MySQL root account into the appropriate field and click Save.
*This needs to be correct, so verify by trying to log into MySQL. To test in the command prompt, cd into the directory where the
MySQL binaries are installed (this is usually in c:\mysql\bin ), and run
the following command:
mysql -u root -p <yourpass>
You should now be able to add MySQL databases through Helm if you are able to login successfully from the command prompt.
