Hi there and welcome!

You need to add the IP of your target at the end as this is the MySQL server you are trying to connect to:

mysql -u <username> -p <password> -h <targetIP>

You could also try connecting without the password and if it needs one will come back with a password prompt in which you can then write the password:

mysql -u <username> -h <targetIP>

Hope this helps!
