title: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password :YES) joomla install on windows 7 with web platform installer
body: <p>I was trying to install Joomla on my machine .. so i ran the microsoft web platform and choose joomla Mysql and other tools went well .. BUT joomla it self isn't installed giving the following error :</p>
  
  <p>This product did not  install successfully: the database 'my_site_db' could not be created
  Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password :YES) </p>
  
  <p>It asked me to enter a password for Joomla and the database in the last step of installation.
  I think i had MySQL already installed.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE : I downloaded Joomla from the website and worked on it using XAMPP and the installed version from Joomla's website.</p>
