no root access

I have installed PHP5.3.0 exactly as in the web site, on a machine running Windows XP. I have administrator privileges on XP. During the install it told me not to mess with the root password for MySQL, so I didn't.

I got to page 159 of "PHP, MySQL & JavaScript" by Robin Nixon (O'Reilly), and it said to do "mysql -u root". I get

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Can anyone help me? I'm sure this is an utterly simple problem, but I'm an utter beginner.

Never mind. With the current version of MySQL, I need the explicit "-p"
flag. It then asks for the password, I hit <enter>, since the password
is the null string, and it works.

If you want, you can change root password ;)
