Check Following Things

• Make Sure You Have MySQL Server Running
• Check connection with default credentials i.e. username : 'root' & password : '' [Blank Password]
• Try login phpmyadmin with same credentials
• Try to put 127.0.0.1 instead localhost or your lan IP would do too.
• Make sure you are running MySql on 3306 and if you have configured make sure to state it while making a connection
