[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1002631, member: 76888"] I fixed your quotation error... I assume the user who created that guide had a previous installation of MediaPortal that had already created the SQL database. There is a dialog box that pops up during install telling you about the password and you have to click ok to continue. So in fact it DOESN'Tmatter that this is 1.3 alpha. The requirement to enter the password has been around for 5+ years and I have only seen 4 forum posts with users stuck at this step (out of 1000s and 1000s of installs). MediaPortal is a really powerful media-center that is designed for power users, maybe you should try a less featured basic media center that is easier to setup, eg. Windows Media Center. Nothing works at all? try [URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2F1rFmyQmY']this[/URL]... Sorry I haven't been of any ACTUAL help to you.
