I've even set the password to 7 characters long (the minimum allowed) and it still ‘Cannot log in to the MySQL server’. The “first 14 characters of the password” thing didn’t work out for me.

Use the first 14 characters of the password you entered and it will log in successfully. This is the first hit for “GoDaddy cannot log in to the MySQL server” in Google, so here’s the answer:

I've triple checked my credentials and the secureserver.net bit is okay, . unless their is some wait time to be done, i'm bamboozled.
