I found a solution!

Uninstall mysql then navigate to c:program files and delete the folder named mysql.

re-install mysql and it works!

What was happening was that someone had installed mysql on this machine before and nobody had a clue what password he had set....by removing the mysql folder and re-installing it cleared the old password and allowed me to create a new one :-)
