title: Mysql configuration problem
body: <p>I have being trying since last night. At first it was working but this morning again its not working. I am installing mysql version 5.0 on vista machine. when i try to configure its says that:
  The security settings could not be applied to the database because the connnection had failed with the following error:
  Error Nr. 1045
  access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'(using password:yes)</p>
  
  <p>if a personal firewall is runnig on your machine plaes make sure you have opened the tcp port 3306 for connections. otherwise no client applicaion can connect to the server. after you have opened the port please press retry to apply the secirity settings.</p>
  
  <p>if you are re-installing after you just installed the mysql server please not that the data directory was not removed automatically. therefore the old password from your last installation is still needed to connect to the server. in this case please select skip now and re-run the configuration wizard from the start menu.</p>
  
  <p>i tried disabling the wirefall, user accounts but getting the same error. can anyone suggest me something please.</p>
