 For the third time i think, this is the DATABASE PASSWORD, ok?

 You won´t forgot it because you already have it, otherwise you won't get
 Wordpress running, trust me, no database password, no Wordpress.

 Regarding the confirmation, it is NOT A USER-SET PASSWORD. Again you have
 the password already, if you mistype it, you get and sql connection error.

 Now, I remember why I avoid posting tickets, people just don't take the
 time to read descriptions.
