Start by checking that MySql is installed on your local machine. If it isn't, then you can't connect to it.

If it is, then use MySQL workbench (google will find it for you if you don't have it installed) to check the configuration of MySql on your system.

Sorry to sound vague, but we have no access to your machine, and thus can't do anything specific to help you from here!

The problem could be due to different IP address in your hosts file.
Go to the following path (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc)and check IP address of localhost in the hosts file. Use root@127.0.0.1 (assuming 127.0.0.1 is the IP in your hosts file) instead of root@localhost for connectivity.

Solution 3

Remove the semicolon at the end. MySQL Shell commands don't use a terminating semicolon and it tries to find server called localhost; instead of localhost
MySQL :: MySQL Shell 8.0 :: 3.1 MySQL Shell Commands[^]
