[1e1me1n]

I am new to MySQL. I tried to install mysql( my OS IS WIN 2000) but when I try to connect it thro command prompt I get a message " access denied" . So I have uninstalled the whole mysql. Could u plsss give me a step by step instruction as to how I need to install and get into the mysql db and start coding?
thanks in advance

Go to

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/installing.html

(this is part of the official mysql manual). Skip the main part (although this is of course valuable) and read the 3rd comment which is a quick guide. It got me started!

Make sure you are logged on a root until you set up your own permissions, of you won't see the mysql table.
