It looks like your software is trying to connect to MySQL through port 10061, which sounds odd to me, unless you have changed it.
The default port MySQL uses is 3306, try connecting on that port.

How are you attempting to connect to the database?

i am attempting to create a database. I set up database name, Host name, port number, username and password, then i click 'Finish', it shows the dialogue mentioned above.

The port number i set is 3306, default one.
