Alright if you keep reinstalling mysql because you get the cant connect to mysql server on root@localhost error this is for you.
1. First go to start on your desktop.
2. Go to control pannel, then add or remove programs
3. Scroll down till you see Mysql server
4. Hit remove and let it go follow the steps
5. Then go to my computer>local disk>program files>MySQL and delete that.
6. After you have done that install it again.
7. After you have done that if it doesnt work. use the same password as the MySQL server from before.
8. And you should be good.
