Hi people, it finally worked. One problem was with the way modules were set up, so installed anacoda and using accessing it through PyCharm. It's working well now. Another problem was with the initiation command, had to renew the password and that's working too. I sincerely thank everyone here who tried to help me. :) 
Have a great weekend guys!
