I am trying to install the MySQL Database on my windows computer. When installing I get the following screens-

On clicking next I get-

Problem- What password do I need to enter on this screen? I tried entering a new password and clicking the check button, but it does not accept any password. I also tried my current account password (used to log in to my laptop) but it also did not work. Please help me get rid of this issue and proceed further. I know there are several other answers but they answer about resetting or recovering passwords. In my case, I made a fresh installation for the first time. I don't know what to put in that field. I tried going back and jumping to the screen- I am still not able to login by giving a username and password.

I believe the default password is non, so just try enter. – Rohit Gupta Sep 19 '22 at 09:58
@RohitGupta I cannot proceed without entering a password in the field. – ayush Sep 19 '22 at 10:50
@Alien I am making a new installation of MySQL from scratch. So, I don't think that it applies. – ayush Sep 19 '22 at 10:51
It could be **password**, but either way, if it doesnt work the try resetting it. I am voting to close the question – Rohit Gupta Sep 19 '22 at 10:55
