Your MysSQL is 8.0 or more. Your need to change this file which is named my.ini
Change the default_authentication_plugin to mysql_native_password。

This one solved my problem. just for reference, the first step can be done through executing this software: "MySQL Installer - Community". you can find it using windows 10 search
