During installation asks for root database password

I tried to install 1.5.8 on a server ubuntu 20.04. After few try and no success I fond here in the forum that I need the version 1.5.9 for ubuntu 20.04. I downloaded it but now during installation it stops on asking for root database password and I cannot continue. I tried with no password, I tried with root password nothing. Please Help

The root user for mysql/mariadb is different than the linux root user. When you install FOG 1.5.7 (I think) or later it should ask you to create a root password for mysql. This because FOG used no password for mysql for many years and this was decided to be insecure by the FOG developers. So they force you to pick a password and its not recorded anywhere.
If you “lost” the root user password for mysql/mariadb you will need to recover it using one of the many tutorials on the internet for recovering the root password like this one: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-reset-your-mysql-or-mariadb-root-password
