title: Error 1045 MySQL during setup
body: <p>Could anyone explain to me <code>error 1045</code> during MySQL setup. I'm getting this error after reinstalling. I 'm trying to install on windows 7. On the last stage of installation (i.e apply security settings) I'm getting the following message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The security settings could not be applied. Error Number 1045.
  Access denied for user 'root' @ 'loaclhost'(usinf password: NO).
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I get around this?</p>
