Install process did not ask me if I wanted to set mysql root password. Then when phpmyadmin installation ran it asked me for the password to the administrative account to create the phpmyadmin db. I Entered in nothing at first, then later on when several more attempts to install the package were made, I chose to attempt other system passwords, no luck with any attempts. Finally an abort of the installation was attempted and also failed.
