Re: Stuck installing MySQL on root password
What OS are you using, Linux, Mac or Windows?
The password is stored in mysql database.
Uninstalling mysql doesn't remove the database, re-installing doesn't write over an existing database, so it remembers any root password set last time.
So, to start from scratch, you'll need to unistall MySQL, AND remove the /data folder containing the mysql database.
Good luck,
Barry.
