Unable to connect to MySQL Workbench

I’ve been trying to connect my mysql db through workbench over SSH, but I can’t seem to get it to work.

I keep getting the error “Could not connect the SSH Tunnel, please check username and password.” and right after that error “Failed to connect to MySQL at 127.0.0.1:3306 through SSH tunnel at [my droplet ip] with user root”

What I have at the moment: SSH Hostname: [droplet ip] SSH username: root SSH password is blank SSH key file: [private key path] MySQL hostname: 127.0.0.1 MySQL port: 3306 username: root password: [mysql user root password]

I’ve already tried switching the bind-address and the MySQL hostname to 0.0.0.0, but nothing changed. I also checked if port 3306 is occupied but that wasn’t the case.

Also at workbench server connection editor there are 2 extra tabs, Remote Management and System Profile. Do I have to do something there or should I choose, Do not use remote management?

Thank you
