MySQL Workbench 6.3 will not connect to mysql-5.7.7-rc-osx10.9-x86_64

I installed both MySQL 5.7.7 and MySQL Workbench 6.3 on a Mac X Yosemite 10.10.3. I can use the System Preferences>MySQL to start the mysql database and can double check it running on the activity monitor.

When I click on My Connections to connect to the database, it asks me for the root password. I provide one that I've just created using System Preference > Users and Groups > Logging Options > Master Password Setting and the connection is refused.

I tried to follow many of the answers but couldn't find one that would work.

Any help would be welcome.

The users managed in System Preferences are OS users, not MySQL users. MySQL maintains an own set of users which you have to manage via certain SQL commands. Securing the initial setup is described in the docs: 2.9.4 Securing the Initial MySQL Accounts
