can you loggin in localhost?
try to create another user with admin privileges, and then use that to connect to port 3306.. maybe it solves..

if not, try to see the firewall of plesk.. it's stupid but.. all is possible hahaha

use the skip grant tables option in windows to reset the mysql admin password and update the same using the control panel..this will fix your issue
