Connecting RDS instance via mysqlworkbench failing

Question

I have created RDS instance with my own VPC. I had selected public accessible while creating the RDS instance. I have attached internet gateway with VPC. The security group for RDS has entry for 3306 port with my system IP address. I am using default ACL. Still on connecting the RDS instance from mysqlworkench error is coming.

Answer 1

Double check that you have added to correct information and test connection from above image. You also need to open 3306 port for your instance. Check if you have root user privileges in console.
