installing Mysql just about drove me up the wall. I made a mistake and uninstalled/reinstalled but it kept acting like there was already a password after a reinstall.
Well it took a while to find it but mysql (at least the 5.1 version) does not delete its databases when it uninstalls. On windows 7 the database is in a hidden directory called AppData and the Mysql dir in AppData has to be erased to remove the "old" password. Of course, if someone wants to keep a database and wants to only reset the password they'll have to hit google.
