The wizard tries to connect to "localhost", using user "root" with no
password, any change to this settings before you run the installer
cause that error. As you said, simple... Check the MySQL Manual for
"Recovering root password" and try it. Also try learningg the basics
of MySQL without trusting the wizards. Good luck.
