title: Can i connect to my MySql Server using workbench without having a password
body: <p>I have a MySql database that is running on a linux server. The DB is not password encrypted. 
  I understand that no password != empty password.
  I installed mysql workbenck on my windows laptop and am trying to connect to my database. It doesn't allow me to. 
  Details:
  Connection method: Standard (TCP/IP)
  Error: Cannot connect to Database server
  Your connection attempt failed for user'root' from your host to server at 3306
  Host is not allowed to connect to this MySql Server.
  I am supposing it might be a windows firewall issue. 
  Please can somebody help me resolve this. </p>
