Have you tried re-running install_cluster after that? I have encountered similar problems before, sometimes I forget to set the DISPLAY back to my computer, so when it tried to ask me for a password, it fails. Then if I try to re-run ./install_cluster, it would complain about problems with mysql user...
But usually if I run start_over and re-run ./install_cluster, it works...
