Answer 1

I thought your MYSQl Service is not yet start. Please Follow the below steps It works me like a charm.
windows + R - Type services.msc Press 'Enter' you could see many services . There is a service called MYSQl56 service if it's Disabled please Start that Service then once again restart the workbench.

Answer 2

I just encountered exactly the same problem - read lots of suggestions but solutions didn't work for me (I can't un-install MySQL and re-install it on a live server)... ...my resolution, and what worked for me, was to copy chcp.com from C:\Windows\System32\ to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ I guess it's a path problem between a 32bit version of MySQL/Workbench and the 64bit OS
