Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' <10061 "Unknown error">

[strugglegenerator]

I am so defeated right now.

My server was up and running fine for a week and now today I was unable to login to my SQL server at all because I kept getting error:
"Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061).

I tried everything I could find on the forums, but nothing worked. No, my passwords never changed, literally I changed absolutely nothing. Server worked fine when I went to bed. Woke up, can't login to my own database.
So I gave up and decided to delete my entire server and start fresh.

However, even a fresh install is not working. I keep getting the same error "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' <10061 "Unknown error">


Any insight is greatly appreciated. If you are going to bash me, don't bother posting.
