Soo , context . I had installed MySQL back in 2021 , for my college lectures, used it for about 3 months and uninstalled it later as I thought I would never need it again .

Now I’m trying to install MySQL, it’s asking me to enter a root password , I don’t remember that . I tried looking up some solutions . They ask you to go to services and look for MySQL but the problem is that it isn’t installed yet so it won’t show up in services .

Is there a way to solve it or should I give up and use some alternative?
