What exact version of MySQL server, 5.x.y, are you installing, and on what OS?

HAving same problem.
Configuring Instanced it must be detecting previous password, as uninstalled and attempted to re-install...I had forgotten the password....

This relates to EOL (no longer supported) versions of MySQL Server. Furthermore, the old plain msi installers have been superseded by the MySQL Installer for Windows. Thus closing.
