Hello all, i have recently unistalled mysql server, and tried to reinstall it. i downloaded it and installed it but in the manager it did not say insert password it said put in the current pwd and then the new and confirm.. so it kept my prev pwd.. still i did this and when i clicked next there was an error on starting the application...
I remember i faced this problem once again long time ago and had made a post on the old forum in which i got the answer,, it had smth to do with the cmd->regedit and delete some files there... i did it i think again but doesnt work ;/ anyway if there is any link for the old forum or an answer for this prob i d appreciate it ;S
thx all

You are forgetting to delete the MySQL database directory from your "All users" profile. That is normally located under C:\documents and setting\All users\Application Data\MySql. Delete the entire MySQL structure and re-install. You should not be prompted for the old password anymore after this.
