MySQL password always fails on new installation

Using Windows (server 2012) and Web Platform installer to install wordpress, the installer will ask for a root MySQL password. It then proceeds to install. then a dialog box says password failed for root, enter the password.

Does not matter what you type, no password will work. Tried this http://dancerscode.com/blog/the-annoying-mysql-web-platform-installer-bug/

and it DID NOT FIX IT. I have uninstalled over 10 times, searched on how to address this (glitch) in MySQL. Is there any fix? Is there any known way to get around this "any password you try will never work" glitch?
