Play 2.0.4 can't access to mysql

Hello
I have to modify a system made a long time ago in Play 2.0.4 and I’m having problems accessing mysql. I know it’s a very old version; The next step may be to update it and make some changes to make it a responsive website.

I had to install Java 7 and mysql 5.6.42 which I think were the ones I had installed on the development machine used at that time.
This app was made by another company and I made a little modification a while ago, I’m not an expert in play.

The mistake is:
Can not connect to database [default]
In F:\Pl\acol\conf\application.conf at line 26.

in the application.conf:

db.default.driver = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
db.default.url = “jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/acol”
db.default.user = root
db.default.password = abcd

In Build.scala I have:
val appDependencies = Seq(
// Add your project dependencies here,
“mysql” % “mysql-connector-java” % “5.1.+”,
“commons-lang” % “commons-lang” % “2.5”,
“org.jasypt” % “jasypt” % “1.9.+”,
“org.mybatis” % “mybatis” % “3.0.+”,
//“ads” % “ads-connector-java” % “9.10”,
“org.apache.commons” % “commons-email” % “1.2”
)

I have access to said database from an external utility such as sqlyog. The user and the password are fine.

The log is:

Can I help me?
I thank you very much, any help is appreciated

Actually did you confirm that root@localhost can login with the same password? MySQL auth is dependent on the host value as well and you may have to permit that specific combo.

Hello Bentito

After re-uninstalling and reinstalling another version that I had, 5.6.12.2, of that time, and replacing the pass I was supposed to be using, it was now able to connect.
Maybe when he typed it he ate a character, I do not know.
Thank you very much for your prompt response.
Now I will continue solving other problems :)
Many greetings
