I'm trying to install a php script that uses mysql. The problem is
that the php config file asks for my database password and I don't
have one because it's not required for the database. So now I'm
getting an error that all variables in the config php must have a
value. So what do I put for my password if I don't have/need a
password?

Seriously, you should set a password. Regardless of how secure the
environment is, some things just aren't done, and leaving a database
server without password protection is one of them...
