The server stopped working and everytime I tried to input data it would bring up an error     ->     ON DELETE NO ACTION
    ->     ON UPDATE NO ACTION)
    -> ENGINE = InnoDB;
No connection. Trying to reconnect...

The server will not allow me to input my password either, it just shuts down everytime I enter my password.
And now my sql workbench has thrown a bug/exception- "object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Please, please help!!!

How to repeat:
 I DONT KNOW!!!!!
