this is something that is posted several other places, however after messing around with it for the better part of 12 hours or so and nearly smashing my computer and reading as much as i could take on the documetation of mysql from the makers-
i found that getting permissions for mysql using version 3.23.57 is accomplished simply by hitting Start (on the toolbar) opening a dos prompt and type:
c:\mysql\bin\mysql -u root -p
when the password entry shows up- hit enter because there isnt one yet.
go on with the permission granting as usual from the above posts- but with an initial install with windows this is the default all permissions user-
hope it helps
