sometimes, the case is that I need to just pay attention a little. whilst running the detailed install,I noticed an information window that was telling me where it was going to put the data files. well well...C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MySQL. in explorer, select "tools" > "folder options" then *temporarily* select "show contents of system folders" and "show hidden files" - after uninstalling mysql server and deleting the installation folder, go into the application data folder, delete the hidden MySQL folder then when you run the installer, it will NOT ask for present password. now just don't leave your system and hidden folders and files out in the wind. solved for me!
