Hello All

I just downloaded and installed MySQl and am having a slight problem:

I went through the detailed setup and was never asked to set a root password or user and now when i open up the MySQL command line i am prompted to enter a root password. I tried just pushing enter and it exited.

(Toggle Plain Text)

The Details:

MySQl 4.1 for windwos Xp Pro SP2 (i used the windows X86 zip/installer file)

Detailed Setup Details:

Developer Machine
Multifunction Database  (Both InnoDb and MyIsam)
InnoDb path \MySql InnoDB Datafiles\
Decission Support (DSS) / OLAP (20 concurrent connections assumed)
Disabled TCP/IP
Standard Character Set
Do not install as a windows service
Include Bin Directory in Windows PATH

At this point it says push execute to execute ......
and it finishes ok

Nowhere am I prompted to enter a root password or user
