Ask your hosting. It’s some sort of security measure.
I dont have any hosting at the moment
I had that same issue. What I had to do was install mysql, then go into the mysql tools. Create an account called root with sa permissions (that’s system administrator). Then you should be able to do the install.
But when i am trying to install it gives error
where can i find mysql tools?
Please explain a little more
@rahatmahajan you said
I dont have any hosting at the moment
, then where you are trying to install the WordPress?
On my system.
Localhost wordpress using web platform installer
Okay, I have some questions to ask:
1- Are you using WAMP or XAMPP?
2- During the WordPress installation process, have you tried with the User name “root” and leave the Password field empty (don’t write anything)?
Take a look at this https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_on_Microsoft_IIS, maybe it can help you out.
I am using ISS
I did try that but its not working
Everytime i tried to install wordpress It says
default database admin account for: root
Database server : localhost
password ……….
but when I enter the password it gives error message
Hi Rahatmahajan,
Hopefully Web Pl is successfully installed!
Once you choose to install WP, you get to step 3 in the tutorial: PREREQUSITES.
here: which database are you choosing? are you keeping it MySQL or something else? Are you able to go ahead here or get stuck here?
Hello
when i am trying to install wordpress its not asking me for any database but just the password..
I am not able to go ahead as i do not know the root localhost password
HEllo
Please tell me how can i reset that.
