I got this error when trying to connect to Mysql in navicat :S
I could always connect no problem. Is anyone else having this problem? xD

Make sure that mysql is running
Make sure you are using the correct username/password settings
Make sure you are connecting to your local host (which you are according to the error msgs)

Those are the 3 main reasons that navicat would give those errors.

Try creating a new connection in navicat using settings you KNOW work (eg: ones that work for your source to connect to sql, etc)

Worst comes to worst, completely re-install xampp/wamp and try again with fresh settings (fresh install of xampp uses user root with blank password.)
