Need help setting up mysql 5.7

[widardofodd]

it's asking for the root password in the installation wizard, and I can't find it. Does anyone know the default root password for mysql 5.7?

Try "password"?

Otherwise this?

Dang it. Nope.

In the setup program it said the password can be found in the server configuration, but I can't find that.

Tried NO password? (press enter)?

Here's something:

Yeah I tried no password, too. Didn't work

Victory! of sorts. I gave p on 5.7, and instead installed 5.6. Now I just need to figure that out. Been a while since I've done any db stuff, and my son wants me to teach him.
