mycli -u username -pmypassword: I get the following errro: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' ([WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it)")

Here's the corrected version with the specified formatting retained:

I found the answer: In case you changed the port 3306 to something else, like 3307, which was the case for me, just type on CLI: mysql -u username -pyourpassword -P 3307. Make sure the -P 3307 is capitalized.
