New Install on windows 2008 server

[Craig Ryan]

I have attempted to do a new install of mysql on a windows 2008 server but it always fails at the security step - below is the .err file - error Nr. 1045 Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) I am adding a password so not sure why it is saying NO? I have firewall disabled but I still went ahead an opened port 3306 but same error??Any help would be greatly apperciated - thank you
