Hello,

I am trying to install MySql v5.7 on Windows 10. I am the sole user of the computer and have an Administrator role. I had been successully using MySQL previously on Windows 7 OS. I am accepting the default Developer environment setup. During the install process, after MySql is started as a Service, I receive the following error:

Beginning configuration step: Applying security settings
Attempting to update security settings.
Authentication to host 'localhost' for user 'root' using method 'mysql_native_password' failed with message: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Ended configuration step: Applying security settings

Can anyone tell me what this means and how to resolve it? Thanks in advance.
