ec2 instance not connecting to mysql workbench

Question

i made an ec2 instance, put an inbound rule for 3306, made a remote user with peivilages, 
when i try to connect the user in another computer it works but only on the teminal,
when i try to connect fron the workbench it gives me the "could not connect to ssh tunnel : authuntecation failed"
popup screen.
i assured that the keypair is right, the username and pass are right.
could really use some assestance.
